Tips For Throwing Affordable But Stylish Birthday Parties
The economy is making it hard for a lot of people right now but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice fun and style when it comes to giving birthday parties. If you need to create a birthday party for someone you love, these money-saving tips will help you watch your wallet, while still creating a party everyone will remember:
Be Creative with the Party Theme
Why not try an unusual theme that would also be affordable for both your guests and you? If you're giving a children's party, the guests can bring low-cost items that would be appropriate for a homeless shelter that serves families or a local animal rescue organization. If you call the organization in advance, you can compile a list of low-cost items that can be included with the invitations you send to your guests. Instruct them to wrap the items as if they were regular birthday gifts and then everyone can go as a group to deliver them. This would not only be meaningful for everyone involved but it would also teach the children the true concept of giving.
For adults, save money by throwing a re-gifting/recycling party. Most people have at least one gift in their closets that they've been given but don't want, so why not have them wrap them up and give them again? Make sure to let them know who is coming to the party though, so people don't bring gifts they got from someone who'll be at the party! If you don't want to risk hurt feelings, this idea also works well for items that people have bought new on impulse but never used. Make sure to provide a specific dollar limit for the recycled items, so people at all income levels can participate.
Make Your Own Birthday Party Decorations and Invitations
The Web has an unbelievable selection of printable party templates. So why spend a lot of money on store-bought invitations when you can print them at home for just the cost of card stock and ink? There are also plenty of birthday clip art images options online, which make perfect party decorations. If you can find large enough art, you can make your own banners and signs for the party. If not, you can at least use smaller art to make table place holders or to cut out and sprinkle throughout flower arrangements or plants. If the guest of honor likes vintage art, you can print a selection of vintage birthday cards and tie them with fancy ribbons to a string that forms a garland. This is an easy way to get a vintage feel and make the party more festive! To enhance the shabby chic, vintage theme, get intentionally mismatched plates, glasses and silverware at a thrift store to use in place of plastic and paper partyware.
The most important thing to remember when trying to save money on a birthday party is that you need to be creative. If you implement even the most low-cost ideas with style, no one will ever know the party was actually a bargain!
