Anyone can make a birthday party cheap as long as you know the secrets of being cheap!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Dollar store!
  • plain solid colored plates, napkins, table clothes, cups etc.

Step1
You don't need to have all your items to match your theme. Solid colored plates, napkins, table cloths and cups can be a lot cheaper then eating off of a Hannah Montana Plate. No one cares about eating off of a character.
Step2
Go to after season sales. After Easter is a great time to get Easter egg fillers, or After Christmas for the stocking stuffers, for your piñata, or the treat bags.
Step3
Go to EBay and look for leftovers, people sell their leftover items from their birthday parties. Pretty cheap too! Or get on your local Freecycle.org site and list what your looking for on their. You never know what someone else is going to have listed on there!

Tips & Warnings

  • Let the dollar store be your guide and Friend through this time! Let your kids help to. They know what kids their age want!
  • Be careful not to go over board on the treat bags, you know that parents are going to throw this stuff away, afterall...dont you!
