Kids Parties Cost Too Much

Over the years I have noticed some clear trends in kids parties.  The main trend is they are getting more and more expensive.  We are constantly hearing that the economy is bad, people are out of work, and they can't afford the basics.  This doesn't seem true when it comes to having birthday parties for our kids. Gone are the days of the basic party, complete with hot dogs, chips, a homemade cake, and Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Parents are not only competing with the other parents in the school to have the best party money can buy, they are competing with shows such as "My Super Sweet 16" to making their 1 year old feel special. Your 5 year old doesn't have to have a $5,000 party to feel special.  I mean if you can afford it I am not hating but if you don't have $5000 in your party budget I can teach you how to make it look like you do.

I can guarantee you if you follow my advice you can have a great party on any budget.   I just recently did a party for 24 girls that included food, favors. banners, custom fairy wands, headbands, decorations, party clothes, cotton candy, and 4 activities. The party was less than 2 hours long and cost less than $200.  Everyone had a great time including the parents.  

With that said, I know I am not the only person who knows how to party on a budget. Let's share this site and help each other out.  

                                                            Let's have some Blessed Parties,

  1. Yes! It is absolutely true. Kids really want to have parties but planning a party for them needs a lot of attention. I have booked one of the San Francisco venues for my daughter’s birthday and am still confused as to what theme would be perfect for the day.
