Some people argue that spending a lot of money holding birthday parties, wedding parties and other celebration is a waste of money. However, others believe such parties are important for individuals and for society. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In most cultures around the globe celebrating important events in

one‘s

personal

life

with others is common. It is debatable whether the money spend on these festivities is well invested. In my view, it is important for

one‘s

personal and social

life

to mark and share significant occasion but I would advocate to limit expenses to the host‘s means. On the one hand, there is a long tradition of celebrating birthdays and marriages. These celebrations enrich our social lives, express our culture and bring us closer to family and

friends

. For many

people

religious and national holidays have become less significant in recent years.

Therefore

, events in our personal

life

are often regarded important occasions now for a break in our daily routine. How we celebrate those is an expression of our culture and traditions.

Moreover

, we can show our appreciation for

people

that matter to us: the person we marry or the friend, who holds a birthday party. Celebrations bring extended families together or let us catch up with

friends

we have not seen in a long time.

Also

, celebrating together can create cohesion among guests and it can be a good way to keep in touch with relatives and

friends

.

On the other hand

, lavish celebrations can come with high costs, even leaving the hosts in debts or may only be held to impress other

people

. There are certainly longer lasting investments than throwing a party.

For example

,

instead

of blowing their money on an expensive marriage young couples could invest in property or higher education. In some countries it is common for couples to make debts to pay for their nuptials. In my opinion, celebrating should not overstretch the means of the hosts. It would be wiser to scale down the event to the available budget.

Then

, some

people

argue are only held to impress guests rather than share happy moments in

one‘s

life

. Certainly, demonstrating

one‘s

status and riches can play a role: even if the expensive cars and clothes are only rented for the event. In conclusion, I believe celebrating events in

one‘s

personal

life

with

friends

and family is a valuable tradition worth preserving. One should aim to keep the cost within the available budget

instead

of trying hard to impress guests and show off. After all, it is about sharing the joy of a marriage or a birthday with

people

close to us.
