Daily News | Smash cakes, signature drinks, and custom favors: These aren’t weddings, but kids’ birthday parties, costing some Philly parents $1,500 or more
When Stephanie Carlucci’s son was six months old, she started planning his first birthday party.
Carlucci, who works in higher education, and her husband, who works in information technology, spent between $600 and $700 on the party, which she held at her home for 40 guests. She said it was less elaborate than other kids’ birthday bashes that she’s attended. Across the Philadelphia region, several parents described the cycle as a modern-day, social-media-fueled “keeping up with the Joneses.” Others said they feel “mom guilt” if, for example, their daughter asks why she isn’t having the same kind of birthday party that her classmates are.
Cronk said. Even though she admitted: “She’s not going to remember her second birthday party, let’s be realFor her now-3-year-old’s first birthday, which was also during the height of the pandemic, Caroline Villoslada, 28, of West Chester, said she wasn’t satisfied with the outdoor party she held at a pavilion in a local park. As the adult guests kept a close watch on their kids, they couldn’t relax and talk together, said Villoslada.
Zheng enjoyed it himself, though, he said, particularly after not getting to socialize with the parents of his children’s friends during the pandemic. “Honestly, it was a really good time,” Liu said. “Would I do it similarly for her second birthday? Probably.”
