You could take your child along with his/her friends to a theme park, a zoo or museum, or plan a picnic. It would be both enjoyment and good exposure for the kids. Later you may take them to a pizza or burger point and fill their bellies. Your kids would love it, and you’ll save big time avoiding all the elaborate party preparations at home or a rental.

Buying party invites is a big NO. It’s time to DIY. Having your kid show his imperfect drawing skills on the cards wouldn’t be a bad idea; you write in the details. Or if you think it more convenient then free e-invites can also be sent. And do not miss out on party-favors, kids love to take back goodies home. But keep them simple and buy something useful, like crayons or headbands etc.

Organizing the party at home? Then also cook at home. Mommies prepare the most delicious food ever. Trust yourself and you don’t need any caterers. In this way you will save a lot...a lot of money. Another trick is to organize the party early afternoon or mid evening. This way appetizers and snacks along with a punch is all you got to prepare. Skipping the meal helps in budgeting for sure.

Keep The Guest List Short:

Your kid will probably have more fun with 6-8 good friends than partying with a bunch of 20-30 kids, who he/she barely recognizes. It is a good idea to invite only the choicest few for the child’s birthday party. It will save your child from the overwhelming feeling and help you keep to your party budget.
