How much does a kids' birthday party cost in Lebanon?

By Jinane & Sophanie, founders of Luciole·
Short answer

The cost of a kids' birthday party in Lebanon depends mainly on the number of children, the venue, food and entertainment. Per-child packages make it easy to budget: at Luciole in Jounieh, a party with venue, kids' meal and a workshop costs $22 to $27 per child, with a minimum of 20 children.

What drives the cost

  1. Number of children (the biggest factor)
  2. Venue and duration
  3. Food for kids, and for parents who stay
  4. Entertainment: workshop, animator, character
  5. Cake and decoration
  6. Party favours

How to keep the budget under control

  • Fix the guest list before booking anything
  • Choose one main activity instead of several
  • Pick an all-in-one package to avoid surprise extras
  • Let the craft they make be the party favour
  • Keep about 10% aside for last-minute costs

Ask every venue exactly what is included per child. Two prices that look similar can hide very different packages.

More questions parents ask

Is a per-child price better than a flat fee?

Per-child pricing is easier to budget and scales with your guest list. Always check the minimum number of children.

What is usually not included?

Often the cake, special decoration, characters or extra activities. Ask each venue for a written list.

How do I save without it looking cheap?

Cut the extras, not the main activity. One great workshop beats a room full of decorations.
