Just curious...
Most of the people I know spend at least a few hundred, if not more, on their kids' bday parties. Entertainment, food, etc- it all adds up pretty quick. First birthdays are especially a big deal in our culture (korean).
-
Food, balloons, cake, beer - I didn't keep track but I would guess $150, maybe?
-
We have set a budget of $300 for LO's 1st birthday. This includes everything: cake, presents, decorations, etc. I have no idea what is reasonable, but DH doesn't want me to spend any more than that!
ETA I would love to come in under budget because I enjoy the challenge! -
Less than $10. Made the cake and balloons. $30 if you count presents.
-
A lot. We had over 50 guests for LO 2's first and 47 for LO 1's 3rd. My husband likes getting food catered and that adds up pretty quickly.
-
We were able to do our first birthday party at home for around $350 which included decorations and catered Chinese food, snacks/drinks from Costco and a grocery store sheet cake. It was a TON of food and was more than enough for our 50 guests. I sent a lot of food home with people.
Second birthday was around 40 people but it was in between meals and we didn't cater lunch so it was a bit cheaper.
-
My twins first party came out a few thousand dollars. We hired a planner and had it at a restaurant. We are korean.
other parties, not sure yet. They didn't have a second bday party. They will be three and I need to throw one cuz all the other day are kids are throwing one. Hopefully just a few hundred bux max.

if I had to make an educated guess, probably $200? maybe $300... I did a terrible job of tracking, but we did a lot of DIY with food and stuff so that helped there...
I spent about $65 on the outfit she was wearing... and probably $60 on party supplies/decorations so that adds up right there! I was not very budget conscious either, which I regret as even with spending a bunch, it wasn't as great as I'd hoped-- I think the money might have been better spent LOL like... not on $40 for 2 giant carebear balloons... and a lot of money on invites people probably tossed out?
-
£100. The majority of that was the cake.
-
Maybe $20 for each LO? We didn't do a party. I home made the cake with most ingredients already in the pantry and we spent about $15 on gifts.
other parties, not sure yet. They didn't have a second bday party. They will be three and I need to throw one cuz all the other day are kids are throwing one. Hopefully just a few hundred bux max.
