People who spend this much money on a baby's party, a party the baby won't remember, have their priorities messed up.

She complained about her adding bubble gum and the kids not having teeth, but then she asked for candy apples. If they don’t have teeth for bubble gum, how are they going to eat a candy apples🤯🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Wow. The fact that she degrades ALL Black businesses because of her experience is ridiculous! Like how dare you?!! As a business owner, I'm not impressed with customers like her who think it's ok to voice her frustrations, and demean all black business owners in the process. Ugh! 😒

Regardless of what I thought of the plaintiff's case before, she totally lost me when she made that sideswipe at Black businesses.

“My 1 year old had a good time. That’s all I cared about”😂 No ma’am. All you cared about was yourself lol

Whats wrong with doin a regular decorations/ parties like back in the day? Dollar tree is my best friend for my kids parties……

If what I got vs. what I asked for were ever a case. This was an EPIC fail. Shame on the defendant to think that was worth $800. I honestly would’ve been pissed about that table too. The setup looks thrown together last minute and the only thing that looks like it took time was the design of the cookies. The defendant should’ve been honest about not being able to deliver exactly or even close to what the plaintiff was asking for especially since she was very precise in what she wanted.

People doing 1 to 3 year old parties for kids that'll never remember any of it is truly beyond me

I’m thrilled for that sweet little baby making it against all the odds. That’s a true blessing. I wish her all the happiness in the world but this truly more for the adults than the child. That kind of money should have been put towards something more beneficial for that child like a college fund or life insurance.

Treat table was ugly and does not look anywhere near the pic she provided - most definitely not worth $1000- maybe $300 because of the food provided

Sis missed the mark on the treat table. It wasn't even close.

"My 1 yr old had a good time"... Ma'am your 1 yr old won't even remember it. But that's your prerogative🤷🏾‍♀️

EPIC FAIL misspelling the baby's name on the cupcakes. The Defendant fell short on many things in this but I don't think it was the disaster the Plaintiff made it out to be, either.

That table looked sad 😂😩😭 What I asked for VS What I got 🥴

My goodness ! That table was a mess. I’ve seen treat tables look way better. Took no accountability for that crap she delivered.

Can we talk about the font on those text messages??? The letters were HUGE 😂😂

The set up she got looks nothing like the pic. Im glad she got some money back. Clearly they could have done a much better job

She said her business name is Exquisite and there was nothing exquisite about that table. I agree with her, that and not having the candy apples and rice crispies she asked for and the name misspelled on cupcakes shows there was no integrity in the work. She was paid 1,000 and did bare minimum.

i would never in a million years give a birthday party for a 12mo old NEVERRRRRRR,PEOPLE SPEND ALL this money on BDparties but go to gofundme if something bad happens. take that $1,000 and purchase a whole life insurance policy for that baby, not a stupid party, age 5 is an appropriate age to begin Bday parties

What she got for that quoted price is not even close to being what that photo is. What a cheezy looking table.

I would be mad if i got that too after i sent that picture 😂😂😂 but spending that much on a 1 year olds party is ridiculous

Why is the plaintiff ‘upset’ about all that money she literally wasted? Girl!! You didn’t have to spend so much in the first place!! No way did all that look like it was even worth $900. Who was she trying to impress 😒

The treats look nice, but that table and backdrop looks like it came off of Wish. That looks nothing like what she asked for.

The defendants last comment about the competition got to me. I would be mad if I spent 1000 dollars on a table and it didn't win. Like yeah she was mad that she "lost" she spent a lot of money to win. The desserts seemed awesome. I could do the decorations with dollar tree items. Also I agree with the judge. Put the money into savings bonds. Kid is 1 all she wants is mom.

Cupcakes, ice cream,some bubbles, balloons, music KIDS you good to go 🎉

The plaintiff got what she deserved after that black business comment…..BUT that table was TERRIBLE. I feel like she should’ve gotten way more back cause that work was crap.

The plaintiff can’t be fr .. the balloon set in the picture is $11 on shein & $13 on amazon.. literally can’t find a version of it that costs $20. A 40 pc set of decorations for $70. I say order your personalized desserts & set up the table yourself , google is your friend 😅

Tbh, the table looked like 💩 especially being that expensive. Anyone would be able to make that themselves, when you pay for something to get done you expect it to be done better.

Who in their right mind wants candy apples for a one year old's birthday, that is madness, and very old-fashioned. AND who in their right mind wastes that sort of money on showing off, when you could put that in a college fund...

how hard would it have been for her to get a round table. That would have helped a whole hell of a lot. Ad the shiny balloons were replaced with bland balloons - I'd be upset with that too.

Not even similar tables 😂😂

I always made my kids' Halloween costumes and party decorations. I made their Valentine's boxes, their 100 Days' projects, and helped them with every school project they ever had. I am an actual artist, so I had a little bit of an advantage over some people, but good at art or not, it meant a lot more to myself and both of my kids, that I was involved. One year for Christmas I made them Harry Potter kits. I decorated a decent sized box for each, made them invisibility cloaks, plastic glasses with tape on the bridge, tiny stuffed owls that I rolled up parchment paper and stick to their legs, wands, etc. Anyone could have made that, and the supplies cost me $42 total for both. They still have those kits and they're special to them because I made them, and I couldn't have bought things to fill that box that would have meant more to them. I'm terrible at decorating cakes but I still did it every year for boh of them. Parents need to realize that hands on projects are far more meaningful to kids than some stranger coming in and doing everything. They might not know at 1 what their parents did, but when they look back at photos and see how much their family cared, and how much work and care their parents put into their birthdays, that will mean way more than "grandma spent $1000 on a party I don't even remember." That being said, though, if someone has the money and chooses to spend it that way, that's their own decision.

Yeah that treat table was trash and definitely not worth $950 not worth half of that

The grandmother’s comment about “not doing business with blck people” is so stupid because every race has bad business so will she say that every time she receives bad service? I doubt it. She just made herself look so stupid and ignorant saying that

Lmfao my daughter got a cup cake on a highchair and we both almost died during her birth. I went straight into cardiac arrest. Gtfo of here. These extravagant parties are solely for the adult.

ridiculous amount of money spent aside, for the price the plaintiff paid, that table was trash. I found those exact same 44pcs Mermaid balloons on the internet for 11 dollars.... and that took just 5 seconds search on my part. That's all the defendant had to do and the plaintiff would have been happy.

My daughter was born at 32 weeks and is having her 1st birthday party on Saturday. She was in the NICU for 6 months and ended up having to get a trach AND g-tube and I find it ridiculous to spend this kind of money on a 1st birthday party. We are buying cocomelon decorations from amazon and are having a small get together. Like the judge said, that money should’ve gone into a savings account. NOT a first birthday party. It’s just really unnecessary and irresponsible because I guarantee no one has a college fund or any of the sort set up for the baby yet..

Omg. The best part of the people's court is the Q &A at the end. I love you two

Man that party was for adults 🤣🤣🤣 they be saying it’s for the kids .. be drunk and all at a 1 year old party 🤣

At the end when the plaintiff said 'money wasn't an option' I think she meant money wasn't an 'obstacle' meaning she would have spent more! Then just put it in a college fund, now that would have impressed everyone, INCLUDING the baby when she gets older...

I would have been upset as well. The set up looked nothing like the example. It certainly didn't look like a $950 table. Anytime I've thrown my children a party, I've done the set up and usually my frustration comes from the cake. I have to say 90% of the time my stomach was in knots before picking it up😂 and at least 20% of the time it was wayyyy off, so I can totally understand the frustration here!😂

I bought a huge mermaid tale balloon arch on Amazon for like $30 and it looks just like the one in the picture the plaintiff provided. I had to blow up the balloons and assemble myself but it wasn't difficult.

I think the defendant was definitely in the wrong, her setup was not worth no 950$. And the fact that she thought it was that bedazzled is crazy lol.

That table is horrendous and I would be pissed lol!! I'm one of those Godmoms' who love going above and beyond for the children I love! IDC if they won't remember it! It's a milestone and y'all shouldn't count other ppls pockets! By that logic, brides should just go to the courthouse with a juicy couture track suit! Verdict for the plaintiff 😂😂

Why didn’t they purchase the backdrop and extras off Etsy? That would have saved her entire case.

I can see where that balloon fin is also apart of the backdrop (the bottom of the balloons are cut off lol) but $1000 is way too much. I understand that the in the plaintiff’s case it’s a personal thing because the child was said to not make it BUT that’s still kinda wild to pay that much

I would have been pissed too for being shown an advertisement and then when you make it come to life, it looks watered down and really cheap(the food designs were off the hook though). Thank goodness the baby is doing good!

She said “ money isn’t an option “ then why is she suing her ? 🤦‍♀️ I believe the defendant when she said the plaintiff was in competition with the in-law 🙄🙄 trying to outdo her..

She could have purchased balloon arches AND metallic balloons on Amazon very reasonably. Just having the metallic balloons would’ve made a big difference in the appearance of the mermaid tail. Her cake work was beautiful though.

I will never understand people who do these over the top birthday parties. This coming from a kid that had some over the top birthday parties. I hated them, I would have much rather just been left alone to play with my friends.

For a 1000 dollars it better look just like the picture

Why did she have to bring up race. That grandmother is ridiculous.

Wow! What the plaintiff says at the end, you can't do business with black people... 🥴😵

Pathetic : It's to impress the parents not the babies. Silly to spend so much, why not a picnic or a simple set up? Start a Birthday savings account and present it at the party. Get creative.

That was def not $1000 table. Probly like $400. Maybe 5.

I hate that "attacking me via texting" is a thing in litigants minds.

man i would’ve paid $100 for that table

I would've been pissed if that was the outcome of the table. She could've done it herself and saved money and time from having to file a lawsuit lol

I agree with the plaintiff the table wasn’t good enough for $950 maybe $300 max

I would of been pissed off too its not nothing like picture at all where is the mermaid tail the string hanging down yeah this is horrible

If you can't replicate what a client wants, just say that. And let someone capable handle it. That table was an embarrassment for that amount.

She could’ve don’t that herself 😂 she went to dollar tree and got majority of that stuff lol!

These parties are more for the parents than the kids

I'm only at the very beginning and this chic paid all that money for a one year old's birthday?? My son was born at 27 weeks and for his first birthday, small family gathering, pass the baby around with love, small gifts, let him smash his tiny hand in the cake and keep it moving. This is tew tew much.

OMG, plastic on a lampshade, who does that??? Maybe back in the early 50's some people did that because they were smokers but hell, how much would a new shade be compared to keeping it sealed in it's packing plastic because that's what it is.

What ever they request is what you give them, especially if you go to a party planner. My niece has this kind of business and has done these parties and they look amazing. They are spectacular. Follow the instructions of the person signing the contract.

That table wasn’t no 950 hell nah 😩

This defendant was not ready for hire. She overlooked what the judge said which in my estimation meant a lot more for her when she described the competition part. That's what she wants! And if her skill set was on point she would make the money from that competitive idea by delivering the goods. My younger cousin has been doing party tables for years and what the defendant has done (based on this video) is the bare minimum and substandard. The mermaid should have been a deliverable item or else she shouldn't advertise with it. In real estate, You cannot sell a house using certain items that help them sell in the description without giving it up when the house is purchased. I received a beautiful refrigerator many years ago that way. It was a state-of-the-art refrigerator that was before its time. The old owner wanted to keep it but my sharp realtor who knew the law.. Selling cars with special effects/add-ons is another example of luring a customer for the business. When a business person does this they have to deliver.

I thought the thumbnail was a before and after makeover pic 👁👄👁

Nobody has teeth for chewing gum but she wanted candy apples??

She showed a picture. It the consultant could not make it exactly, she should have said so. Give her a draft to sign off on what she came up with. They way she would approve of everything before you buy and make everything and/or make your changes. Consultants are getting paid to be patience and understand. Parties and money is involved. It is a business, not a BLACK business (very unprofessional). Happy Birthday little one.

Somebody said she got an usher board table and threw a dollar tree table cloth on it...😂🤭

SMH at the last comment. Certainly an uneducated response about race. If race had anything to do with bad business only 1 race of people would be sued on this show. Clearly all race and nationalities get sued and do both good and bad business. Next time you hire someone to do a party make sure you get someone that knows how to communicate with the company. She should have found a photo that wasn't photoshop for an example and asked for pictures and receipts of everything that the company would be doing.

250.00 were given to the plaintiff and previously 150.00 was given by the defendant.I think that was reasonable.The judgement was 👌👌👍💯✅👏👏👏🙏❤️🌹

The Grandma getting on my nerves throwing out dollar amount every 5 minutes

Plaintiff said that all she cared about was her grandbaby. WRONG. If that were true, she would have started a college fund for her grandbaby with the $950 she spent on a stupid dessert table that a one year old child does not even comprehend.

The fact that she brought race into it was uncalled for.

I love your husband's response at the end. Mad hilarious 😂

That big balloon mermaid tail on the side is definitely photoshopped into that picture 🤣🤣 so fake! I'm sure someone could make it, but it's gonna be pricey and time-consuming

funny how they say the 1 year old had a good time when all it would have done is sit there staring at all the other people having fun and eating. lol

This is why you put together your own packages and present them. You don't let them send you pictures of grandeur and they promises you can't deliver. To grandmother was expecting we too much 😤

I love when they send pictures of super expensive ideas with a low ass budget

Aww we don’t get to see Douglas do his little “please be seated” dance anymore 😢

Lmaoo so the woman said we got popcorn and Oreos and none of the kids had teeth! But then wanted candy apples and Rice Krispie squares

What?!?? That racist comment about Black people. It’s really shameful that this Black woman, who has a Black mother, daughter and granddaughter would say such a demeaning thing. She’s a self hating sad woman.

Yeah...no they don't look even similar. I understand you want business but don't promise something you can deliver. Part of being a good business owner is knowing your limitations. She still did work that should be paid for. But when you have a party that's about competing with other adults instead of making it about the child, you will usually always be disappointed. Even if she delivered grandeur, if someone else had done better she would've been upset.

What's with grandma forking a Grand for a dessert table for a one-year-old when a 5-gallon bucket of ice cream and spoons for all would have been more fun and more memorable and cost a 10th of what she paid?

That is ridiculous! The plaintiff is ridiculous! It does not take $900 just to set up a 1-year old's birthday party. $100 is good enough to buy the food, decorations, and games. That toddler will not remember that party, why not wait until the child is 10 or 16 to throw them a huge expensive party? I just don't understand. Then what makes it worst the defendant did not do the decorations right terrible!🤔🙄😒

How dare she say “…you can’t do business with Black ppl…”???!!! Is she insane??!! To take a jab at her own ppl is just sad and she should be embarrassed and ashamed of herself. I’m embarrassed for her. 🤦🏾‍♀️

The desserts are amazing looking. What a beautiful job. I think the plaintiff is only entitled to the 150 she already got back. The defendant and her mom obviously worked hard to create a beautiful table.

"l hate to tell you this, ladies, but this food isn't actually *for* the birthday baby, or "any other 1 year olds," it's for you!' And "food for others that age??" Huh? 🤣 Popcorn is ok?? Boggles my mind....

Did she really say that she doesn't do business with black people!?!

"Nobody has teeth" I'm doooooone💀🤣

Those two photos was clearly a “what I ordered from WISH vs. what I got from WISH” scene if I ain’t neva seen one..😂

I was estimating a $200 refund. $250, sounds fair.

I love dollar geneal. I love my family. Dollor stores are awesome . My family wouldnt want me to spend thousands. Geesh.

I have been to baby showers with a dessert table many times more fancy than that that certainly didn't cost that kind of money! Heck, I don't believe in spending that kind of money on a kids birthday period, let alone a first one.

I love how ppl be like what happened to regular parties like back in the day but they forget if ppl have it they will spend it no matter what if they have the money let them if u can't just say that just want ppl to do what they say they will do

I'm so glad she loved the madTV bit. I remember when that aired on TV and I was dying. 🤣🤣🤣

So, I did do events. It wasn't my personal business but I worked for special events for a school. Balloons are expensive and an arch can easily cost $150. Columns less than half of that and depending how tall. But here's the thing, that's not how you do columns. There is a certain way to do it and she does not know how to make balloons. These are done by someone who never did balloon decorations before.
