Birthday parties on a budget

Fun for the kids, kind to your wallet.

4 min read

Kids' birthday parties can get expensive fast. A few choices keep them fun and affordable.

Ideas

  • Host at home or in a park
  • Invite fewer kids; a common rule is the child's age plus one
  • Simple games: relay races, treasure hunts, crafts
  • Homemade cake and a simple meal
  • Skip goodie bags, or keep them tiny
