5th Birthday Party

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

How lovely you want to do an unforgettable birthday. I am sure whatever you do will be great - and I wish I had that sort of money to give Liebs a huge party.

Just a quick Q: as your DD is only turning 5, she may well forget something like this. How would you feel if in a few years' time she couldn't remember her awesome party? I know my mother is upset I don't recall all the big parties she did for me when I was younger (earliest birthday party I remember is my 11th).

I don't think I would mind, I'm living for now and I guess it's something she is right into & we would have a million pictures.

Like her birth (which clearly she won't remember) I'm going to drum into her just all the wonderful things DP & I have done for her including birth on a bathroom floor hahahaha!

If it's not going to leave you in financial dramas, go for it! Honestly, it's something she'll enjoy, she'll remember it for the forseeable future, and (sadly) she is Bombers mad so it's kinda a win win thing!

You've been to DD's parties - we probably nudge the $300 mark just for home parties once we factor in food and drinks (and awwwwwwwwwwesome cake lol) -

the reality is that it's what YOU want to do for your DD - don't let ANYONE tell you that it's too much or too exxy or whatever else. if it's in your means, if it feels right, do it!

Will be working on DP tonight - I honestly think he would love it too and wont take too much convincing... spoke to a mum at kinder today and for a party at the local PC she paid $400 for 15 kids for 1.5hrs - I think paying maybe $500 for 25 kids and close to 20 adults is quite a good deal.

you're looking maybe $10 to $12 per person for an "experience" sorta party - that's really good value hun

Money come and goes but memories are cherished forever!

I remember my 5th bday and that was 30 yrs ago lol.

DD's bdays tend to be around $800 and thats also at home but includes food alcohol jumping castle and presents for all her friends coz i love to spoil the kiddies.

My dh always spews when i tell him approx costs but it all disappears when he sees how much dd is loving it
