Title: tips to plan party at your budget
1Tips to plan your kids birthday party at your
budget
2Introduction
- Kids always dreamed of there birthday, it is a
small things for us but for kids it is something
that we can get them for there lifetime memories.
In order to set a party that your kids wish you
need to under stand some tips. So you can get a
grant birthday treat for your kid at your simple
budget. and they are as follows
3Time It Right
- Timing really is everything, and kids birthday
parties are no different. The cheapest birthday
parties for parents are the ones held between 2pm
and 5pm. At this point to can ensure that kids
have eaten lunch, but its too early for dinner,
which takes the pressure off of you to provide.
Make this even clearer by noting on your
invitation that some small snacks will be
provided.
4Extend Your Lead Time
- Failed birthday party budgets go hand-in-hand
with impulse buying. If you want to avoid
spending big when youre stressed and in a hurry,
increase the lead time on your birthday party
prep by as much as you can. Get an idea of what
youll need months in advance, then you have more
opportunities to pick things up on special and
when theyve heavily discounted.
5Scrap The Paper
- Paper invites are cute, and God knows there are
more to choose from than ever before. But, that
doesnt mean you need them. There are lots of
websites that offer really lovely e-vites that
can be easily emailed out to your guest list.
Alternatively you could throw something together
and send it out as a picture message on your
phone. At the end of the day, it makes more sense
to spend money on the big day than on the
lead-up.
6Keep Your Guest List Small
- One of the easiest ways to save a little bit of
money when you throw your next birthday party is
to keep your guest list small. Sure, its lovely
to invite your childs entire class, but that
doesnt need to happen every year, or even at
all. Unless your child is a social butterfly,
theyre more likely to have just a small number
of close friends anyway. Invite just these
people, and then you can make the party more
special.
7Save When Theyre Small
- It is so cute to see people going all out for
their childs first birthday, but at the end of
the day the child isnt going to remember or be
impressed by that effort. It makes much more
sense to save on spending when your children are
little, so you have more freedom to throw a party
they really enjoy when theyre a little older. A
family picnic or a day out to the park is going
to be just as much fun for a one-year-old as a
party with all the trimmings.
8Pair Up
- In your childs network of friends theres likely
another child whose birthday falls pretty close
to your own. If your kids are friends, it might
be worth considering throwing a joint kids
birthday party. That way the cost of
entertainment, decorating and food can be split
between two families, making things much more
affordable. Just make sure one child isnt
eclipsing the other, and get two cakes!
9Food For Thought
- To keep things as cheap as possible at your kids
birthday party, it makes sense to make as much of
your own food and snacks as possible, and keep it
simple. Foods like fairy bread and even sausage
rolls are super cheap to make yourself, but
perfect for kids appetites. Also look at getting
some cheap fruit and cutting it up yourself for
snacks. To make it more appealing, serve it on
skewers with marshmallows in between!
10Buy Small Items In Sets
- Party favor's have become all the rage at kids
birthday party these days, particularly in
circles where the good ol lolly bag is not
longer the way to go. The best way to serve up
decent party favor's on a budget is to look
early, with a specific focus on anything that
comes in a set. Were talking about classroom
packs, things from the dollar store, cheap
multi-sets of kids books and so on. These all
make great party favor's.
