Parents Spend Huge Amounts On Special Themes & Menus
Today, young kids are fully wrapped up in stardust feel on their birthdays as their parents willingly turn into Santas throwing lavish bashes to make their evenings memorable! And forget a few thousands, such parties’ budget nowa-days cross a few lakhs of rupees.
When Ryan Jagnani turned 3 this month, mom Nikita planned a theme party of talent hunt for a bollywood blockbuster. The kids walked in dressed up as new or old bollywood stars and danced on their favourite number on the glamorous neonlighted stage with look-a-likes stars who were especially invited for party. Their items were showed live on screens as if to hunt the best talent. “My son knows names of many actors and actresses and loves to dance on numbers. The idea to host a bollywood theme party clicked to me as I wanted one of the most memorable celebrations,” says Nikita.
However,this party-hosting ordeal did not impress his son as after the party small Ryan said, “All those who came in as Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan and Aaishwarya Rai had just dressed up like them. I know they were all fake. I asked you to actually call real stats not their look-a-likes.” With parents’ enthusiasm, demands of kids are skyrocketing and a number of organizers are spinning good money riding this bandwagon.
Ramesh Makwana from Party Vibe, one of the kiddies party organizers in the city, says, “Parents want to do something novel and are ready to spend. The latest themes in demand are bollywood, angry birds, toy story and pool splash.” Urvi Shah, another kiddies party organizer says, “We get maximum orders in May as many parents whose kids’ birthdays fall during March and April postpone the birthday celebrations and host it during summer holidays.”
These parties have glitzy cut outs made to create special ambience, with well-lighted backdrops, balloons and also have interactive games like toy train, bungee jumpers, junior jumpers, balloon shooting, tin-throwing and more. Special kid-menu tailored for these parties often have mini-pizzas, smileys, shaped pastas, mini-idli-dosa, mini-burgers, shaped sandwiches, theme-cup-cakes, golas, jellos, cookie and chocolate counters.
