[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$0 - gather at the very nice park down the street, where there is play equipment.  Plan for a few party games as well (races, pin the tail on the donkey). 
$20 - paper plates, cups, napkins.  I use old table cloths from home.  No need for hanging decorations,

$5=10 - cake, made by me
$25-$50, depending on how all-out I want to go - sandwiches, made by me; chips; cut-up fruit and assorted snacks.

Birthday presents from us will be another $50 or so.

You do have choices, OP.[/quote]

What if you show up yo the park and someone else sets up their stuff first?

In our area, if you plan to jots a party in the park you are almost always required to reserve the space and pay for it.[/quote]

With six guests and a big park, it is not an issue.

We take a folding banquet table just in case picnic tables are an issue.[/quote]

but see I don't have a folding banquet table so that would be something else I would need to purchase so that another $60-$70 I need to spend. And then maybe throw in some chairs. And honestly by the time I do all that and pay for it I might as well pay $50 - $75 more and just go to a venue.[/quote]
