Inexpensive Birthday Party Ideas
Birthdays are special celebrations, but they can be costly. You can throw a party that everyone will enjoy and not spend too much money. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Invitations
-
Save money on stamps and stationery by inviting guests using online invitations or by calling them.
Location
-
Have the party at home or select a low-cost location, such as a playground, a park, a community center or a swim club.
-
Avoid Serving Dinner
-
Schedule the event for a time when it does not overlap a meal time, especially for children. Serve cake and snacks.
Limit the Guest List
-
A smaller guest list will make the party more manageable and less costly.
Children's Parties
-
A playground offers free entertainment. Indoor parties can include a rented movie, popcorn and a cake. Plan a princess tea party where you can serve miniature cupcakes and have guests make candy-beaded necklaces or tiaras.
Adult Parties
-
A dessert and coffee party gives your guests a place to go after dinner. Borrow or rent a karaoke box for entertainment.
Liquor is unnecessary at a brunch birthday party. Many brunch foods are inexpensive. A small guest list allows you to use china in lieu of paper plates.
