CHILDREN'S birthday parties are a headache for most parents, but for celebrities it often carves a hole in their finances.
The bashes have got increasingly lavish over the years, even when the child at the centre isn't old enough to remember what is going on.
Lauryn Goodman, 31, pulled out all the stops to celebrate the 4th birthday of son Kairo - who she shares with footballer Kyle Walker, 33. He was not in attendance.
Seemingly determined to prove her WAG credentials, she splashed out on a towering cake, huge balloon towers, and an inflatable slide as well as a stylist and professional videographer.
Kids were treated to a cupcake and popcorn, plus grazing boards that she had ordered from Olive Blossom Grazing.
She hired 14 party planners to ensure everything went off without a hitch, who she thanked in a gushing social media post.

Multiple birthday parties
Former TOWIE star Ferne McCann, 33, decided one party was simply not enough for her eldest child Sunday.
Instead, the youngster, six, was given two different bashes to celebrate her new age.
The first was a Barbie themed party where Sunday was treated to a makeover from makeup artists dressed as the iconic doll.
She was wrapped up in a pink robe as she got her nails done and glitter applied to her face.

Fellow former TOWIE star Amy Childs, 33, also went to town when celebrating her twins' first birthdays.
Millie and Billie, who she shares with partner Billy Delbosq, had an extravagant bash at Leez Priory 16th-century mansion in Essex.
The couple spent hundreds of pounds on luxury goods including a ball pit, games and blue and pink decorations.
Amy also had a three-tier cake made with her children's named iced on and the classic towers of balloons.
Outside there were endless games, and inside there were even more balloon decorations and crates of toys.
Table of presents
Tyson, 35, and Paris Fury, 33, are no stranger to luxury, and they're more than willing to splash out on their kids each year.
For their youngest daughter, Athena, they spared no expense for her second birthday party.

For her sixth birthday in 2017 they hosted a garden party to celebrate her changing age.
A plethora of sweet treats were on offer, and guests could even decorate them to suit their own tastes.
Harper was also treated to tea at Buckingham Palace, for which she dressed up as Elsa from Frozen.
During the visit to the royal home, Harper met Princess Eugenie and the moment was capture on camera by her doting parents.
David later clarified that it was an event for something else but it seemed a lovely way to mark his daughter's birthday.

The former TOWIE star splashed out on the extravagant catering, which included a huge personalised cake for Margot along with endless sweet treats.
The gigantic cake was decorated with nutcrackers and snowmen.
She also bought a classic balloon display and cardboard cutouts for her to photograph the tot in front of.
Billie's opulent bash for the baby saw her come under fire from fans for flaunting her wealth.
Giant presents
F1 empire heiress whenever suits her, and daughter Sophia's first birthday was no exception.
