Which Kardashian Birthday Bash Was the Best?

by Kadeen Griffiths

In addition to the Teen Choice Awards, the weekend also marked Kylie Jenner's 17th birthday. It can be shocking to realize that she's only 17 years old considering Kylie Jenner has already written a book, done some modeling, had a reality TV show, and become richer than you'll ever be, but the youngest of the main Kardashian clan achieved all of that success without even being legal yet. If you're done feeling inadequate, let me make that feeling a little worse by pointing out that while your idea of a successful birthday is probably a good cake and no one getting drunk and bursting into tears, Jenner's 17th birthday party was a huge bash that featured guests like Chris Brown, Tyga, Justin Bieber, and The Game among others.

However, despite the fact that Jenner's birthday party took up the entire weekend from a pre-birthday party on Saturday thrown by Tyga to appearing at the Teen Choice Awards and following that up with a birthday dinner at Nobu Malibu on Sunday, it still doesn't win the award for the most extravagant Kardashian birthday celebration of 2014. With over half of the Kardashian women having had their birthday parties already, where exactly does Jenner's party rank on that list?

It's already been established that Khloe Kardashian's party was kind of lame, but that wasn't Khloe's fault. Her birthday came not long after North West's first birthday and she couldn't help getting overshadowed by Kim and Kanye West going all out in their effort to give their daughter the most memorable birthday of her life. Sure, Khloe's party was catered and the Kardashian clan almost out-Kardashian'd themselves on the selfie front, but otherwise it was pretty forgettable.

We mere mortals might have to save up and plan things far in advance if we want to go anywhere ever, but Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick flew to Cabo to celebrate her 35th birthday. Jealous yet? They spent the whole time hanging out on the beach, according to photographs, and while that might not seem as impressive as Khloe's giant cake with sparklers on it they get bonus points for changing the location of their party. Also, Cabo.

2. Kylie Jenner's Weekend Bash

Her choice of guests — Justin Bieber? Chris Brown? — might not be too thrilling, but Kylie's birthday was two days long and didn't even let a little thing like the Teen Choice Awards get in the way of celebrating it. Despite being lucky, or unfortunate, enough to turn 17 years old the same day she had to appear at an award show, Kylie still managed to beat out two of her sisters on the birthday party front. However, all the Kardashian-Jenners still lose out to...

1. North West's Birthday Festival

Kim and Kanye West threw North West a Coachella-themed birthday party called Kidchella. That can't be said enough. For North's first birthday, they threw her an entire festival-themed party with a ferris wheel, a custom-made dress, and a rainbow birthday cake. All the other Kardashian-Jenners can go home because they are utterly failing at topping any of this. Then again, Kim doesn't celebrate her birthday until October, so time will tell on whether or not she'll allow herself to be overshadowed by a 1 year old.
