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 spared no effort in setting up an extravagant birthday celebration for her daughter Layla last summer — and with very good reason.

“Layla has autism along with verbal dyspraxia and finds it challenging to speak,” Boscic explained to the Times. “For her fifth birthday, I wanted to give her an unforgettable day as she had achieved so much over the past year.”

The 30-year-old mother succeeded in making the celebration one that Layla would always remember. The grand event featured entertainers, a dance floor, food trucks, a ball pit, a bouncy castle, and greeters dressed in candy-colored outfits, as reported by 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.”
