    £100 for ~20 people at home.

    We rented a room at the community center, did DIY decorations and favors and SIL did food for about 50 people with kids. I think it was about $400-500 but I didn't keep track since I don't know what SIL spent. We couldn't have alcohol there so that saved us a lot!

    Maybe $150...BUT my best friend bought the cupcakes and my mom paid for about half the decor...otherwise it probably would have been closer to $250

    We went a little crazy. I won't say how much we spent but it was a lot. We had about 50 people and we had BBQ catered and a professional photographer. I wanted to have a really special party with everyone that loves her and capture the memories. The year had been a roller coaster for us and our family and it was just a great day. No regrets!

    Funnily enough my MIL thought I didn't decorate enough and bought some extra things

    We will NOT be going all out for LO's 2nd birthday!

    We had grandparents over who paid for the pizza, I think we just had to buy extra eggs & cocoa powder for the cake, and I blew up balloons to tie to each boys chair that we already owned.

    so I'm saying 10$, and if we had had to pay for the pizza it would have been 50$.

    I'm not sure. Probably around $100 but I voted 100-500 because it was probably just over. It was at our house, I bought/made all the food (it was just a hot dog bar, fruit and veggies, and chips/dip) and the cupcakes/smash cake. But I had some alcohol there, plus maybe $30 in decor. So I'm assuming it was probably somewhere in the 100-150 range all said and done.
