11 Over-The-Top Celebrity Kids' Birthday Festivities That Still Shock Me To This Day

Yes, Cardi B and Offset did use multiple Lamborghinis as decorations for their 1-year-old son's birthday party. Just another day in the life!

Nothing is more unserious than seeing celebrities throw these super extravagant birthday parties for, like, one-year-olds who have no idea what's happening. The kids are just sitting there surrounded by all of these wild sights and sounds like:

Jokes aside, I know everyone has their own opinion on the idea of celebrities planning such lavish events for their children — but I'm sure we can all agree it's nice to see literally anyone (but especially kids) having the time of their lives in this...interesting time we live in.

Extravagant decorations, incredible catered food, beautiful entertainment, and guest lists that could probably put some current-day award shows to shame: here are some super fun birthday celebrations that celebrities have put together for their children:

1. When Rihanna and A$AP Rocky threw their son, RZA, a Wu-Tang Clan-themed first birthday party in May 2023.

The happiest baby in the world, baby RZA, celebrated his first birthday on May 13, and his parents started it off by not only (finally) letting us in on their son's name, but also sharing the cutest little pictures of their family! Of course, his party was themed around his namesake and included him and his parents dressed as members of the famous hip-hop collective, Wu-Tang Clan. Honestly, he's just so happy to be here that I truly wouldn't be surprised if somehow RZA actually remembered what his parents did for him on his first birthday! Also, let's talk about the fact that his birthday cake was designed to look like stacks of hundred-dollar bills.

2. When Kylie and Kim threw Stormi and Chicago a Barbie and LOL Dolls-themed third and fourth birthday party in 2022.

Stormi and Chicago's combined birthday party included all of the fun things: an ice cream station, LOL Dolls versions of the girls, a towering balloon display with the girls names on it, a life-size Barbie doll box, and a multi-story inflatable slide with Stormi's face on it! All of the Kardashians are known to throw these over-the-top birthday parties, and Kylie is no different with her daughter, Stormi. At the young age of five, Stormi has already had birthday parties that I, in fact, want to have as a grown woman. Basically, every Kardashian party could be disguised as a carnival for the whole town and I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice.

3. When Cardi B and Offset threw their son, Wave, a racing-themed party for his first birthday in 2022.

This birthday party truly looked like the loading screen of a car racing video game, except it was real life! Obviously, Cardi and Offset chose to spare no expense for Wave's first birthday. Not only did we see the very real foreign cars and the balloon archways that have turned into a celebrity event must-have, but they also had an entire track built for model car racing, car-themed drinks for the adults, and custom denim jackets for all of the guests. A birthday that he will, of course, remember for the rest of his life, and I'm certainly not jealous of it.

4. When Kourtney Kardashian threw a pastel pink party for her daughter Penelope's 10th birthday in 2022.

P and Kourtney planned this absolute pastel pink dreamland that consisted of a private screening of Minions: The Rise Of Gru, matching pajamas for all of the (child) guests (Ugg slippers included), and some adorable heart-shaped food. 

5. When Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson threw their four-year-old daughter, Birdie Mae, a unicorn-themed paradise back in March 2023.

Jessica and Eric have the cutest little themes for their kids' birthday parties. Earlier this year, they threw a huge fourth birthday bash for their youngest, Birdie Mae. Her party included unicorns, face painting, endless amounts of glitter, and both Birdie Mae and Jessica rocking the most adorable fur jackets together. Back in 2018, they threw a The Greatest Showman-themed birthday party for their daughter, Maxwell, that Jessica Simpson lovingly named "Max's Over-The-Top Big Top", which was also, you guessed it, over-the-top!

6. When Kim Kardashian planned "Camp North" for her daughter North's 9th birthday in the summer of 2022.

As we saw earlier, the Kardashians spare no expense for their kids' birthdays, and Camp North could top the list for that. Yes, we are in fact looking at a private jet that carried North and her friends to celebrate her birthday in a fun "creepy-wilderness" that they created in Wyoming. The kids went zip-lining, practiced their archery skills, learned special effects make-up from North, and ended their night in a line of decorative tents! 

7. When Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith threw their daughter Willow a 19th birthday celebration they called "Willoween".

Jada and Will gave Willow the absolute coolest 19th birthday party on the absolute coolest day ever to be born. Willow was born on Halloween and, at that point, hadn't had a birthday party in five years! So, naturally, her parents wanted to go all out for what was her last year of being a teenager. They hired an entire performing arts theater that specializes in horror to create a completely immersive, spooky experience. The theatrics, venue, food, and dancing were all absolutely next level — and that doesn't even begin to mention the incredible art piece that was Willow's Alice In Wonderland mushroom-themed cake.

8. When Mariah Carey threw her twins Roc and Roe the most elegant kids birthday party ever in 2017.

Of course, you can't expect anything else from the queen of the Lambs — but I just remember when I was around this age, my sixth birthday did not consist of a birthday cake that could rival most wedding cakes I've seen, nor did my parents shut down Disneyland when I probably wasn't even tall enough to ride any of the good stuff. My sixth birthday consisted of me fighting for my life at Chuck E. Cheese.

 

9. When Khloe Kardashian gave her daughter, True, an Octonauts-themed birthday bash in April 2023.

Once again, another Kardashian makes the list of over-the-top birthday parties. Khloe is the balloon QUEEN and always has the best balloon displays for her events. True's Octonauts birthday party consisted of customizable backpacks, a snow cone cart, and tide pools that included stingrays, starfish, and a bamboo shark to complement the Octonauts underwater setting!

10. When Victoria and David Beckham took the princess-theme to a whole new level for Harper's sixth birthday in 2017.

You may think that a princess-themed birthday party is pretty standard, but this one may have been the birthday to end all birthdays. David and Victoria gave their then-six-year-old daughter, Harper, a tea party to remember. Not only was she a guest at Buckingham Palace (and funnily enough was dressed in her best Cinderella attire), but she also had the pleasure of sipping tea with Princess Eugenie in attendance! While the invitation to Buckingham Palace wasn't specifically for Harper's birthday, it really can't get any more posh than that.

11. When Ciara and Russell Wilson threw their daughter, Sienna, a ninja-themed sixth birthday party in April 2023.

Sienna probably had the most out-of-the-box birthday party on the whole list. Ninja princess was honestly the only way to describe it. Sienna's birthday included her own personal Ninja training, costumes for all of the guests, a princess castle inflatable slide, and some of the biggest and scariest snakes I've ever had the displeasure of seeing — which one of her very iconic guests, Vanessa Bryant, had no problem playing with! Her parents really went all out in making what was probably the most random combination of themes really work together, and I'm sure it was exactly what Sienna wanted.

 

Well...BRB, I'm about to go try and plan the broke girl's version of one of these parties!
