Forget damp village halls, bad face painting and a supermarket sponge cake, for these celebrity parents a child's birthday is all about flashing the cash and showing off with glitz and glam (and a surprising amount of animals). That's even if their kids aren't old enough to enjoy the party, let alone remember it.
Well, if you've got it...

Forget damp village halls, bad face painting and a supermarket sponge cake, for these celebrity parents a child's Celebrity kids’ birthday bashes
- Tori Spelling's daughter gets life-sized Barbie cake<p> 90210 star Tori and husband Dean are no strangers to epic children’s birthday parties (and the photo shoot opportunities they come with), but they well and truly took the cake in 2010, when they threw daughter Stella a bumper Barbie themed party for her second birthday. The birthday girl wore a pink tutu and guests tucked into a life-sized Barbie cake (double the size of poor Stella), complete with additional pink cupcakes, pink icing and pink lemonade. Unconfirmed reports say every guest went home with sore eyes and a migraine. </p>
- Kai Rooney parties with llamas and horses<p> Wayne and Coleen pulled out all the stops for son Kai’s <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/11/07/kai-rooney-and-100-guests-party-with-llamas-and-horses-for-his-second-birthday/" target="_blank">second birthday bash</a> - horses, llamas and, er, staff dressed as cows were all in attendance. The celebrity pair hired several animals and entertainers for Kai and his 100 (!) party guests, with one perplexed insider saying: “It looked amazing. There were balloons twisted into the shape of tractors, and animals everywhere. Then somebody who looked like Snow White walked in with a goat!” Brilliant. </p>
- Angelina and Brad take Pax on a river cruise<p> Brangelina know exactly how to par-tay with a seven-year-old in the house - they organised a luxury river cruise on the Seine in France for birthday boy Pax. The whole clan - Brad, Ange, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh - were aboard (minus little ‘uns Knox and Vivienne who were presumably not up for the way too grown up boat bash). At least balloons and cake made an appearance. </p>
- Gwen spends $15,000 on Kingston's fourth birthday<p> Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale didn’t spare the pennies when their son Kingston turned four - they apparently splashed out on a party costing $15,000. Given that the party was actually held at their LA home, the couple had plenty of cash available to hire bouncy castles, actors dressed as superheroes, a luxury lemonade stand and a candy floss machine. Guests in attendance included the Beckham boys and Kate Beckinsale. </p>
- Kourtney Kardashian gets a petting zoo for Mason's first birthday<p> When you’re turning one, what more do you need in your life than a petting zoo and an OK! magazine exclusive? Step forward Mason Disick, whose parents, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, threw a bumper bash with a circus and carnival theme for added effect and photo opps. The whole Kardashian clan were in attendance for the party (and magazine photos, of course…).</p>
- The Wanted play for Romeo Beckham<p> The Beckhams' middle son got exactly what he Wanted for his 10<sup>th</sup> birthday - his favourite band, The Wanted, <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/09/04/top-boy-band-play-the-wanted-play-for-romeo-beckham-10th-birthday-party/" target="_blank">played exclusively for him and pals at his party</a>. Posh showed her appreciation afterwards, albeit very smugly, tweeting the boys with the message: “The <a href="https://twitter.com/thewantedmusic" target="_blank">@thewantedmusic</a> boys, the coolest boys in music!!! Thank you for making Romeo's 10th birthday so special!!!! X vb.”</p>
- Suri Cruise has a circus party<p> Rumour has it Princess Suri had a fancy pants <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/04/06/suri-cruise-birthday-13-000-circus-party/" target="_blank">fifth birthday party</a> to the tune of £13,000! Pre-split, Tom and Katie hired professional actors to dress up as children’s characters, and ordered a whole load of animals, including giraffes and elephants for Suri and her pals to marvel over. Any bets on what she’ll be getting for her next birthday, post-TomKat break up?</p>
- Britney hires trampoline park for boys' birthday bash<p> Brit hired an entire trampoline park for her boys to enjoy for a joint birthday party this year, when Sean Preston turned seven and Jayden James celebrated being six. Britney kept it small by celeb standards, with 20 of the boys’ friends invited to enjoy the park, eat cake (and then trampoline? Rather you than us, Brit…), and play party games before heading back home to open presents. </p>
- Harper has a ball with pink party rabbits<p> Harper Beckham’s <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/07/09/happy-birthday-harper-seven-beckham-victoria-david-daughter-turns-one/" target="_blank">first birthday</a> was always going to be a party to write home about, and according to reports by Closer magazine, Posh and Becks didn’t disappoint, spending a whopping £50,000 on their little’s girl’s celebrations. After years hankering for a girl to join the family, it’s no surprise the party was out-of-this-world girlie, with pink cuddly toys, pony rides, cupcakes and even pink rabbits roaming around. We feel for the cleaner…</p>
- P. Diddy's son gets a trip to Vegas<p> P. Diddy’s little boy got a trip of a lifetime for his 12<sup>th</sup> birthday. He was whisked away to Vegas in a fancy black tour bus for a three day break with friends. The gang saw the sights, ate a lot of pizza and tucked into a custom cake which was as tall as the birthday boy.</p>
- Mariah Carey's twins get mini Ferrari for their first birthday<p> Mariah was always going to go all out for dem babies’ first birthday, but twins Moroccan and Monroe really did get everything and more when they turned one - a mini Ferrari, rocking horse, dolls’ house and miniature white piano. The one-year-olds were dressed to impress for their party, with Monroe in a fancy white frock and Moroccan suited and booted in a mini tux (we’re guessing they weren’t allowed to eat!). Mariah and husband Nick Cannon shared a whole heap of party snaps from the big day, you can <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/05/14/happy-birthday-to-dem-babies-mariah-carey-shows-off-twins-moroccan-monroe-first-birthday-party-presents/" target="_blank">take a look in our gallery (you know you want to…).</a></p>
