“How much should I keep aside?” is the first question every parent asks us. Here is what the three most common budgets actually buy when you book a ready-made package instead of putting it together yourself.

Under ₹8,000

A 2-hour slot at a play area or a small party room for 10–15 kids, basic balloon decor, one activity (face painting or a craft table), snacks and juice. You bring the cake. Best for ages 2–6, where the party is short anyway.

₹8,000 – ₹15,000

A themed setup with a backdrop, a host who runs games, a bigger food menu with a hot item, and return gifts for 15–20 kids. Most pool, dinosaur and princess packages sit here.

₹15,000 – ₹25,000

Private venues: a gaming lounge, a turf for a sports party or a rooftop for the parents. Includes a dedicated host, decor, a full meal for kids and adults, and photography in many packages.

Where the money actually goes

Item	Typical share of the budget
Venue and slot	35–45%
Food and cake	25–30%
Decor and theme	10–15%
Activities / host	10–15%
Return gifts	5–10%

Three ways to save without anyone noticing

• Book a weekday afternoon or a Sunday morning slot. Saturday evenings cost the most.
• Keep the guest list to the child’s actual friends. Every extra child adds food, a gift and a chair.
• Choose a venue that includes decor instead of hiring a decorator separately.
