It’s her party and she’ll spend what she wants to.

A UK woman spent almost $5,000 on her daughter’s birthday party.

In today’s economy, it’s no surprise that something as routine as throwing a 5-year-old a birthday party can be expensive.

And while there are ways to do it on a budget — Charlotte Boscic seemed to have done the opposite for her little girl.

As a professional party planner, Boscic pulled out all the stops for her daughter Layla’s extravagant birthday party last summer, and it was well worth it.

The party was a huge success, with guests raving about the stunning decorations, delicious food, and fun activities that were available for everyone to enjoy.

“Layla has autism as well as verbal dyspraxia and struggles with speaking,” Boscic told the Times. “For her fifth birthday, I wanted to give her a big day as she’d overcome so much during the year.”

The 30-year-old mom made the birthday party one that Layla would never forget. The big bash was complete with entertainers, a dance floor, food trucks, a ball pit, a bouncy castle and party greeters wearing candy-colored ensembles, according to the Times.

And from the sounds of it, the party wasn’t small by any means.

“I’ve always been a ‘no child left out’ mum, so I invited around 60 to 70 kids,” she told the Times.

The exact total cost for the party was $4,740.40 — which supposedly included presents for the birthday girl.

While Boscic’s party bill might cause some people’s jaws to drop — she doesn’t seem too extreme compared to some parents who send out a gift registry for their childrens’ birthday parties.

One annoyed mom shared with the Daily Mail how she received invites for kids’ birthday parties that had a QR code for a website where people could buy luxury gifts for the birthday kid.

“Scanning the catalogue of goodies, it also included a Barbie DreamHouse at £250 [about $320 USD] and a Barbie campervan costing over £50 [about $64 USD],” she told the outlet.

“My first emotion was shock, before the rage kicked in.”

The mom said she picked the cheapest item on the list — which in theory, is still an outrageous option for a 7-year-old.

“I picked the cheapest thing on the list at [about $32 USD] — a bottle of Marc Jacobs perfume, which seems an extraordinary gift for a seven-year-old — and had it delivered to my house so that at least I could wrap it and my daughter could give it to her friend in person.”
