🎉 Hosting a Birthday at Home vs. Hosting at Little Sprouts Play Studio in New Castle, IN

When it comes to planning your child’s birthday party in New Castle, Indiana (or anywhere in Henry County), you want to make it magical without the stress. Many parents assume hosting at home is the cheaper, easier option — but have you ever stopped to calculate what it really costs? From your time to rentals to the mess you’re left with, hosting at home often costs more than booking a stress-free celebration at a local play space like Little Sprouts Play Studio.

💸 The Real Cost of Hosting a Toddler Birthday Party at Home

Sure, hosting at home seems convenient, but here’s how the expenses add up:

Your time – At least 4 hours cleaning and prepping, 2 hours assembling favors, 2 hours cleaning up afterward. That’s 8 hours spent working on the day you’re supposed to be celebrating. Valued at minimum wage, that’s $58 of your time.
Table & chair rentals – To seat all your guests, expect at least $50.
Soft play or entertainment – Kids need something fun to do! Renting soft play equipment or other entertainment for toddlers typically costs $200+.
Food & drinks – Hosting a crowd with a variety of options? Expect $200+.
Decorations – Themed birthday party décor for your home still runs at least $100.
Cupcakes – Bakery cupcakes? Around $40.
Party favors – Cute goody bags take time and money: $40.
Last-minute runs – Because you will forget something (hello, lighter), expect at least $20.

Total cost of hosting at home: at least $708 — and that’s without including the stress factor.

And let’s not forget: at home, you’re the party host, constantly telling guests where the restroom is, managing the schedule, and cleaning up messes. Instead of soaking up birthday hugs, you’re running the show.
