[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ug, good luck OP! If you do manage to pull off an amazing party on budget come back and repost how you did it. I've held some great parties in my home for my daughters where I[d be surprised if we spent that much! We got favors from amazon (I've always leaned toward fewer, better favors), minimal decor, and pizzas/waters/seltzers/chips/veggies and hummus.

I recently lost my job and my husband's business is not making money, so we are trying to cut back. (I'm about to get a job, though -- I was recently laid off). We're trying to cut down expenses, of course. We wouldn't be able to do a $300 party. I fondly remember the birthday parties of my childhood, where we all ate cake and pizza around the ping pong table or on the deck and ran around in the yard -- or played musical chairs or pin the tail on the donkey. So much fun and dirt cheap! Back then, parents never stayed![/quote]

What month is your child’s birthday?

We have been to many low key birthdays throughout the years. Cupcakes at the neighborhood playground. No favors. No gifts. Just playground play and singing happy birthday. Spray park with pizza, cupcakes and $1 bubble favors.

Winters are tricker. You could just have a home party and make your own food and cupcakes. It is just more work but can be significantly cheaper. My friend did a make your own pizza and decorate cupcake party.[/quote]

what do you do when it rains? genuine question here. I've debated doing this for a june bday, but am always concerned about rain[/quote]
