Your own children’s party and all your friends’ parties: Birthday celebrations can quickly become very expensive.
While these moments create good memories, the pressure on parents to create extraordinary events for their children is increasing, particularly due to social networks.
While it is possible to get away with slightly less expensive events by organizing parties at home and making several decorations yourself, the bill can easily climb when you opt instead for amusement centers or We deal with event organizers.
Mélyssa Provost, who recently celebrated the 6e daughter’s birthday, finds it important to give her “something she will remember.”
For a party of 11 children, she managed for less than $200, notably by organizing the birthday party earlier to take advantage of the playground.
Purchasing decorations in specialty stores costs on average $45 before taxes, according to data provided by Party Expert.
This is a decrease of $4 from last year, according to the company.
If parents wish to add a bouquet of balloons to their purchase of decorations, there will be approximately $30 extra on the bill.
Celebrate in an amusement center
Due to lack of space to host a group of children or time to organize everything, many parents opt for party packages in amusement centers, cinemas or museums.
These events generally cost a few hundred dollars for the group, depending on the type of package and location chosen.
The iSaute amusement center, for example, offers packages ranging from $249 to $379 before taxes.
Parents who wish to bring children to Funtropolis should expect to pay $289 plus taxes.
At Récréofun, packages can go for up to $335.
At the cinema, you should expect to pay at least $19.40 per child before taxes, not counting the many extras offered.
The increasingly popular “all-inclusive”
Rather than planning a group party, some parents choose to outsource the entire organization to a company.
According to Jessica Mimeault, owner of the JM Expérience Agency, parents who opt for this alternative often “don’t have the time and want everything included”.
You should expect to have to pay between $300 and $1000, depending on the option chosen.
This alternative still allows parents to give free rein to their imagination, since it will be someone else who will have to rack their brains to bring their ideas to life.
The most extravagant requests received by Jessica Mimeault involved ponies or even a musical group.
