Kids Party Ideas On A Budget ….
Splitting The Costs
The Venue
Free Invites:
The Decorations:
Fun Party Food:
This is so easy to make, all you need to do is get a few pieces of your kids LEGO, give it a clean, turn it upside down pour in the jelly, leave to set in the fridge a voila you have LEGO jelly!
Fruit Rainbow:
Make fruit more fun by turning it into a colourful rainbow!
Fun Sarnies:
Use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes out of sandwiches.
The Cake:
It’s always cheaper to make your own cakes and it’s not as hard as you might think. My son was born exactly a year after his cousin so I always make them a joint cake. This is the one I made last year and it only cost me around £6 to make! Everything I know about making cakes I have taught myself from watching YouTube tutorials to reading cake makers blogs. Here is the tutorial to make the Gruffalo.
Party Games:
This is such a fun idea and won’t cost you much at all. Start by making some maps and place clues around the house or garden or wherever you choose to have your party. You could place sweets or little treats along the way and have a small prize for the first person to finish. You can pick up small prizes from your local 99p shop.
Sellotape Ball:
A bit like pass the parcel, sit all the children in a circle, when the music stops the child the ball lands on rolls a dice, the number they get is the amount of seconds they have to unravel the tape. All the sweets they get within that time they get to keep!
Tip: Once you have finished wrapping up the ball ready for the game, fold over the end so it’s easy to find when the game starts.
Activity Stations:
Another great idea is to set up different activity stations so kids can choose what they want to do. For example a cupcake decorating table or an arts and crafts table. These are fantastic ways for kids to express their creativeness and You don’t need to spend a fortune.
If you are making a birthday cake anyway the just bake a little extra cake mix for a batch of plain cupcakes. If not then most supermarkets sell packs of cupcakes for just £1! You can grab some amazing cake decorating bargains HERE.
The Entertainment:
Party Bags:
On my daughters last birthday we took advantage of FREE PHOTO PRINTS and created our own thank you cards to go in the party bags.
Pick & Mix Table:
You can pick up big bags of smart price sweets in Asda for only 29p, so a pick & mix table is a great idea for party bags. All you need are some cheap party bags (HERE) and some sweets. Just fill bowls with different sweets and let the kids choose what they want to fill their bags with. You can also get some cheap toys to put in the bags HERE.
