Once combined, the total came to $5151. As we own two businesses which are the main aspects of events, we were able to halve what this party would've normally cost. We understand we are super blessed to be able to throw our boys such cool parties! We never expect customers to go all out like this, and throwing parties no matter the size or budget does not determine your worth as a parent. What's funny about all of this, is because we're able to, we do parties like this, but our children are super chill and always grateful, that they would be over the moon with just a little gathering at home with their cousins!
