It’s no secret that kids’ birthday parties can be expensive. Between the cost of food, decorations, and entertainment, parents can easily spend hundreds of dollars on a single party. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
There are plenty of ways to throw a fun and festive kid’s birthday party without breaking the bank.
With creativity and planning, you can throw a birthday party that your child and friends will enjoy on a budget.
One of the easiest ways to save money on decorations is to head to the dollar store. You can find affordable party supplies, from streamers and balloons to tablecloths and plates.
You can also find a variety of puzzles, games, and toys that would be perfect for goodie bags. Just be sure to shop around and compare prices before you buy anything.
Goodie bags are an excellent way to thank your guests for coming, but they can also waste money. Many parents aren’t on board with more junky toys to clean up after the child gets bored.
If you’re looking to save, skip the goodie bags and let your guests take home their favorite piece of cake or a balloon. You can also send your guests home with a fun activity or game to play.
From the invitations to the decorations, there are plenty of things you can make yourself. You can also save money on food and drink by making cake, punch, or snacks.
