Frugal Friday

Making Kids Parties Cheaper!

With these few helpful hints you're sure to provide fun and hopefully without spending a fortune.

1.) Timing it right! Invite guests to a midafternoon party and you'll save. If you set a 2-4 timeframe, you won't have to provide a full menu, instead you can just stick to snacks and candy.

2.) Check on freebies! If your tot is turning 1 many local grocery stores provide free cakes for a child's first birthday. Also, they may have birthday clubs where they can receive freebies as well.

3.) Finding entertainment for less! If your child has his/her heart set on having a magician or face-painter, instead of paying a professional, you can hit up local college kids who will probably be thrilled to make an extra buck or two.

4.) Cupcakes! If you do cupcakes instead of buying or making a cake you will save money because you won't have to buy extra supplies like forks & plates. The little kids can dig right in!

Hopefully these tips may help you save a buck or two when you're planning your kids next birthday party!
