I spent around $2,000 on a college bed party to reveal my daughter's university decision. It was extra, but I have no regrets.
Briefly

Melinda Long, a business owner and mother of three, organized a $2,000 'bed party' for her daughter Sienna after her acceptance to the University of Miami. Inspired by similar parties her son attended, Melinda detailed the festive preparations, which included themed decorations and personalized items. She notes varying reactions from others but maintains she had no regrets about the event's cost or extravagance, believing it was a fitting tribute to her daughter's achievements and a fun experience to share with family and friends.
I love a good party, so when my oldest daughter, Sienna, was accepted to the University of Miami via early decision, I threw her a bed party.
Sienna worked hard to get into her dream school, and a bed party felt like a fun way to celebrate with family and friends.
Thanks to social media, it's easy to gather all of the necessities: the branded blanket, the bling Champagne bottle, and the Dot Cake covered in sprinkles in the school colors.
Did I have to spend that much? No, you could easily do this on any budget, but I just went for it and did it how I wanted to do it.
