shutterstock_27064957Are you watching your pennies as you plan your child’s party?  With a little outside-the-box thinking, you can pull your next child’s party together for less than $25!  That’s right, less than $25!  Take inspiration from these budget-inspired party plans that are crafty, creative, and loads of fun!

Throw a Potluck Art Party.  In addition to the art activities, serve up ice cream, a batch of cupcakes, and juice boxes!

Another idea along the same theme as art, how about an Easy Coloring Party? On this plan, forget handing out actual goody bags and let their colorful creations be the take-home favor.

Yes, kids love art … and they love to make a mess too … so throw a Messy Party.  Easy on the wallet, but you may need more time for cleanup!

Do you live with a little chef?  A great cooking theme is Make Your Own Outrageous Cookie Concoctions.  Kids will find their creations delicious!

For the older kids who love food and to make a mess, how about a Fantastic Food Fight?

Where can you save to create a party on a budget?

  1. Send online invitations from any number of services or create your own with craft supplies around your home and hand-deliver.
  2. Keep decorations to a minimum.  Classic balloons and a party table with solid partyware is perfectly fine.
  3. Create your own entertainment based on creative themes as the ones mentioned above.
  4. Keep the menu to cupcakes or cake, ice cream, and drinks.
  5. Let something the children make at the party serve as a party favor.

Happy budget birthday party planning!
