Confess! A plain old birthday party for your lovely children is just, so, well, blase. Right?
I mean, who wants to be known as the parent who has to HIRE a kiddie ride to amuse your child’s invited birthday guests? You only have to read:
- $38,000 Kids’ Birthday Parties?
- Are children’s birthday parties getting out of control?
- Birthday Parties Out of Control
- First birthday parties, out of control!
- Parents Protest as Kids’ Lavish Parties Get Out of Control
- Have you heard about or experienced anything like this?
True, I’m a minority in the "birthday parties for kids arena" – my motto is, invite 3 or 4 of your friends, I’ll feed ‘em, I’ll take ‘em to the movies, and you’ll entertain them when at home! So far, these past 7 years have shown this is an extremely effective technique for both keeping prices lower than a full-blown Bach Silver Stradivarius Trumpet, AND my kids have a super time as well.
But in the off chance you want to be seen hauling out your OWN helicopter ride, check this out:
….Trailer Mounted, 6 Helicopters, New Diamond Plate Trailer, Tires, Fence, Whirlybird Blades, Cockpit Grill, Canvas. In Good Condition. Ready to Use. Half Hour Set Up….MORE…
Okay, true. The description does not cause the angels to sing and the heavens to shimmer….but hey, you can snag this goodie on eBay! 
If the auction has already ended, feast your eyes on the following instead.
Enjoy, Barbara

Childrens parties are becoming very expensive these days, it’s always easier to plan a good party though instead of splashing out on luxury gifts.
As a face painter I have seen some all out birthday parties where parents easily spent a couple grand. I suppose it is all relative. If one can afford it, why not. I was a birthday gig in Hollywood once where they had valet parking…the child was turning 1. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
