Children’s parties
Children’s parties are getting very expensive in the UK today. Everyone likes a
party, especially when it’s a child’s birthday. A birthday is a very important day
in the year. Children love the presents, the cards and the party. The problem
is… the money.
It’s like a competition for the children and the parents. The children want to
invite ALL their friends, not only one or two. They want a big cake not a small
one, new clothes and wonderful games. They want their party to be special. The
parents have to spend a lot of money on all these things. Some parents pay a
party planner to organise their child’s party. That is very expensive. It is very
popular today to have a special children’s show at the party. This is fun and the
children love it but it is also expensive. There is usually a lot of food and drink
at the party for the children AND their parents. And the birthday child often
gives presents to all his/her friends when they go home. A lot of money!
Matt Kelsall and his wife are organising a party for their daughter, Katy. ‘It’s
crazy,’ says Mark. ‘But all her friends have big, expensive parties and we have
to organise a big party too! She’s only three years old. What about when she’s a
teenager?!’
