What would you pay for a similar set up for a kid's birthday party?

Hey

Posting on AIBU for traffic.

Was wondering what you would be willing to pay for a birthday set-up like the one in the photos shown.

I'd like to start something on the side alongside my current job to earn a bit of extra cash. I'm intrigued to find out what you'd be willing to pay, please be kind. This wasn't a professional set-up. It was just for my nephew and a few close friends and family have said I should explore this option as money has been tight recently. Is there still a demand for these things?

I think it looks lovely OP. I'm not sure I'd pay for it because I like sorting things like this myself, so maybe a bit of research as to whether theres a demand for it? At the end of the day you're going to get busy parents/carers who want to throw a party but don't have time for setting it up themselves, but not sure what the demand for that would be like. If you advertised it with some sandwiches and picky bits (obviously would have to get the right food certificates etc), then maybe there would be more demand as its basically a full offering then. I like it though, I feel some posters on here have been a bit harsh.

It is a bit ott for kids party food. Maybe up to £30 for a bespoke themed cake like that, as not very sophisticated. Perhaps focus on food boxes at different price points?

As everyone has said- Hen parties, baby showers, christenings, first birthdays. They're gorgeous and instagrammable- it's for adults not kids. It pains me based on work I've put in but the older they get they're like locusts, you just lash out haribo and squeezy juice drinks and they grab. ideally stuff wrapped so you don't get filthy little hands everywhere.

I agree with this. I'm not sure (younger) kids are your ideal target market. Most parties I've been to, the hosts chuck the kids a sandwich and a pack of pom bears and spend the money on a bouncy castle.

You might have more luck with "pamper"/sleepover-type parties for 8+/young teens.
