Your imagination stops short as you realize that the planning and organizing of this birthday party is going to be totally up to you due to budget constraints.
You also know that this party is very important to your precious child, so you want to make sure that this event is the type of party your child wants.
You may be wondering how you are supposed to pull this off and stick to a budget as well. An age appropriate birthday party for your child requires both planning and preparation, and it is this behind the scenes work that is going to either make or break the party.
Prior planning is also the key to holding the perfect birthday party while sticking to your budget.
At this stage of the party game, brainstorming is going to give you the ideas you need to start your budget party planning.
It is a good idea to start this planning around two months before the date of your child’s party.
This should give you ample time to seek out the things you will need in order to make your child’s party a success.
First, decide on how much you want to spend.
Think about all aspects of a birthday party, such as the invitations, party favours, decorations, games and activities, the all-important birthday cake and other menu items, and the contents of the goody bag that all party-savvy kids will expect at the end of the party.
Make a list of all the things you will need, and also the things you think you might need. You will discover that this list will become invaluable to you.
Most kids already have some sort of an idea of the kind of birthday party they want.
Often, their ideas are a bit farfetched, but you can usually get the general idea of what would please them.
Little girls lean toward theme parties that include princesses, pink, and glitter. Little boys tend to like birthday party themes that have cowboys, sports, or dinosaurs.
If having a themed birthday party for your child has never occurred to you, do consider this option.
It has the potential to save you both time and money, for you will only need to procure items that go along with the party theme.
There are so many themes that you can choose from, and we will discuss some of them later in this eBook.
Perhaps the ideas listed will spark another theme idea that interests your child.
