Kids' birthday parties are getting more expensive, according to a new survey.
We want to know about the best birthday party you've ever been to.
What made it so fun? Was it a great themed party? Did a DJ play some cool tunes?
Maybe you went out to a theme park?
Tell us your stories, even ones about the worst parties you've been to as well!
Unfortunately this topic is now closed but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.
 My worst party was about a year ago. I planned a disco and invited the whole year but my dad insisted on inviting my grandparents round too and they shouted when they caught me dancing with my boyfriend! Lily, 15, Essex
I don't have to go out for my birthday parties because we have a swimming pool in our back garden and my dad does a BBQ, it's wicked! Emlyna, 11, France
I had a huge party in a theme park - there were quite a lot of my friends there and we had so much fun going on the rides. Sarah, 12, London
I once went to pleasure wood hills (near Lowestoft I think?) for my 11th birthday and for my 12th I went go-carting, it was really cool! Harriet, 13, Suffolk
My 13th was the best 'cause I had a barbecue and hired a bouncy castle at my house and me and loads of my mates mucked about and it made it even more fun when it rained and we got soaked in my garden! Some people didn't find it as funny as others though! Charlotte, 13, Epsom
About two weeks ago my friend had a really good sleepover party, where we made a video about a gymnastics competition. It was brilliant and the eight of us are all getting copies! Orla, 10, London
