How much? The crazy cost of children's parties
Installing a temporary ice rink in your home and inviting replicas of the Disney on Ice team to perform, may seem a bit over-the-top for a child's fifth birthday party.
But this is exactly what one client asked luxury events firm Quintessentially Events & Weddings to organise.
For another child's winter birthday, the firm created "a bringing the outside in" themed party, which involved installing an indoor lawn complete with trees, flowers, swings and slides.
The price tag for events like this can stretch to a dizzying £100,000, says event manger Chloe Astin.
After all, cocktails and canapés for the adults, and party bags including tiny Tiffany necklaces for the kids, don't come cheap.More crazy...
In these times it is easy to see where the money is going.
