Organizing A Children's Party With Limited Funds

By Patricia Campbell


Planning for your child's birthday party can already be stressful enough if you're simultaneously attending to other important matters related to work, business, or the household. This is especially true when you have a limited budget to work with. Worry not, because here are simple ways to handle it.

Yes, professional party planners do it best. But don't you think you could do the same more so because it's for your own little one? You just have to solicit help from your trusty relatives or friends to join in the scouting of supplies and help in the arrangements. Schedule regular meet ups and assign each person specific tasks to accomplish.

If you do not want to spend for the venue, your own backyard or living room can be your best choice. One obvious advantage is that it's free so you can channel some of your funds for other matters. Sprucing it up with decorations can also be done anytime you want and if the party takes longer than usual or should you still want more time to talk with the guests, you'll be free to do so.

A great trick is to DIY your way to a fun, thrilling party. Start the preparations early so you have enough time to make your own invitations and decorations. Bake your own cake and let the children decorate it with candy sprinkles and pre-prepared icing bags as an instant party activity. Prepare your own party fare and go for food items that you're sure everybody will enjoy eating. Burgers, pasta, sandwiches, and ice cream are popular among children and adults alike.

When it comes to the party favors, you can save on costs by making them yourself. Some examples are home-made cookies or cupcakes, themed computer-printed coloring sheets, or compiled well-loved kids' songs in CD. You may also buy inexpensive but functional themed items such as goggles for a swimming party, crayons and pencils if it's an arts and crafts party, or a travel drink container for a sports-inspired celebration. Put the item in a reusable non woven bag singapore corporate gift vendors offer. Or you can contract a paper bag printing singapore firm for bulk orders of personalized paper bags as an alternative to the traditional plastic party goodie bags.
