  1. To my mind, celebration is good to have, but I do not encourage spending too much money.
  2. To my mind, to have celebration is good, but I do not encourage spending too much money.

Are the two sentences both grammatically correct? Or which one is better and why?

Best Answer

I'd rephrase a bit to something like this:

In my opinion, it's important to celebrate momentous occasions. I do not encourage spending too much money on the party, though. (It's the celebration that's important, not having expensive things.)

You could also tailor it to the specific occasion:

In my opinion, it's important to celebrate birthdays. I do not encourage spending too much money on the party, though.
