Budget for 1st birthday party?

I thought I’d be spending 300. It’s at the park. I wanted family and close friends only but we are tow weeks out and we have 40 guests. Originally we were going to order a cake from Publix and have pizza and drinks. Now we have a 180 dollar cake. A 350 dollar chick fill a catering. An 100 dollar piñata. About 150 dollars in decor and plates and stuff. Drinks. Ice. Party favors. I mean this is costing close to a 800. We have some tarts and some other finger foods. Idk I don’t want to total it up.

i feel like i’ve already gone over $500 and even with that it’s becoming a little more bc i think my budget is $1,000 just of everything luckily i have lot of family support and some stuff my husband is building & we’re cooking most of the food

We’ve probably spent 800 so far negl

Thank you! This makes me feel better because it adds up so quickly!!

I think we spent like 600 🫥🫠

Decor wise I'd say $200 but including food I'd say $500. I count $100 bc i need 2 6 ft tables and $100 in helium plus the pizzas and cupcakes

My husband and I spent close to 800

I spent like $50 plus presents 🤷‍♀️ (she did have some big presents $$)
We didn't really have a party, but I do feel it's the norm to have one.
I just made a cake, got some balloons (she loves balloons) and we opened a few presents. My baby had fun and liked her cake so I count it a success. 💞

That is more than success❤️❤️❤️
