These are just a few of things that parents around the country are putting into action to celebrate their children’s specialness. Other popular kids’ party options today include renting a room at a fancy hotel such as the Ritz Carlton, offering horse drawn carriage rides for children, picking up and delivering young guests in a limousine, and renting carnival equipment and favorite characters to turn your home into a mini-theme park.
The cost for these activities varies a great deal, depending on where you live, exactly what you want and how many children you will be including. But high-end party planners say that such extravagance doesn’t come cheap.
High-End Events For The Littlest Guests
With so many choices available, there is something available for every price range and for every child’s taste. For under $1,000, you can to throw a one-of-a-kind of party that most boys and girls can only dream about, or if you prefer, go all out and invest up to $50,000 or more to entertain on the very grandest scale. Most of the highest-end venues will custom design a party to your specifications, so whatever whim you or your child has can be worked into the equation.
Here is a closer look at some of the most unusual and extravagant parties recently held for some lucky kids:
Fit For A Princess
Most little girls love to dress up as a princess. On the Upper East Side in New York, one company there lets you take this concept a step further and also treat your guests to princess etiquette lessons. Participants also enjoy a tea party set with the finest pink china and crystal chandeliers.
Or, if you have more money to invest, one creative mother recently hired an actress dressed as Cinderella to hand-deliver the invitations and serenade her guests. In addition, her version of a princess party included 12 princess hostesses, a horse drawn carriage and the characters of Alice and Wonderland to entertain guests. To plan such similar extravagance, you might want to contact a local party planner for help pulling it all together.
This royal tea party is a bargain, starting at a modest fee of $500 or less for a minimum of 10 guests. To the other extreme, though, the mother hosting the more elaborate princess character event spent $10,000 (including $4,500 on 12-foot balloon sculptures of the Little Mermaid).
