A recent survey done by children's party planning company My Party Rocks, shows that 54 percent of parents that throw birthday parties for their kids spend over $400 — 800 on each shindig.
15 percent would spend $800 to $1,500 and seven percent would spend over $1,500.
Additionally, of the 100 Singaporean parents surveyed, 70 percent say birthday parties are important for their children, but 46 percent admitted to being too busy to plan them.
