Have a birthday boy
or girl with a special day right around the bin? Here are a few of our favorite
money saving ideas for children’s birthday parties that will help you stay
on budget without skimping on fun. The
Little Baker’s Bash
Who said birthday parties don’t come
cheap? Here’s a great party theme that will also save you money on your
child’s birthday cake. Simply bake up a batch of cupcakes and set them aside
to cool a few hours before the party. Taking several bowls, food coloring and
plain, vanilla icing, mix different colors of icing into each bowl. Fill other
bowls with jellybeans, sprinkles and gummy worms. Now each child has their own
personalized cupcake!
*Helpful Hint: Keep
little partiers in their space with a few crayons and a few of our educational
Dora coloring pages. Party Bags
Made Easy
The best place to shop for party bags is at a Dollar Store.
You would be surprised at what you can dig up there! From large packs of army
men to multi-packs of hair bows, lip-gloss and jewelry – we think it is
the best place to come out not only on budget but also under it. Save even more
money by opting for paper bags over pricey character themed bags. Then, simply
snazzy up the bag with stickers, the child’s name and whatever else your
heart desires.
*Helpful Hint: Don’t
have the cash to dish out on party bags? Buy a box of 100 count crayons, separate
them into five or six crayons each and place them into sandwich bags. Then, print
off a few of our educational
Spongebob Squarepants coloring pages and staple them together to create a
book. Wah-la! Instant party favors! More
Money Saving Tips
Really want to save that dough for a rainy day? Plan
your party around a season or holiday close to your child’s birthday when
seasonal items are at their most abundant. Save even more money by stocking up
after that holiday has passed and putting the items away for future birthday parties.
