Advantages: no mess at home
Disadvantages: limit of children
Childrens parties can be a expensive time for many parents. Every child wants a party but it's the Mums and Dads that have all the stress and cost of ensuring it is a perfect party for your little one.
I think now parents kind of compete to throw the best party and I am always picking up little tips for my kids next one.
My daughters 2nd party was a great party but was held on a shoestring and heres how
Venue - My local sure start centre has a soft play area for hire, it costs £20 and has a limit of 10 children in at a time. I also get another room for food etc for free.
Balloons and decorations - As my daughters birthday is the 11th december we decorated with christmas lights and tinsel and brought a few packs of balloons to throw in the soft play room. Total cost £4.38
Party bags - I brought pre filled party bags off ebay for £1 each which although seems alot saved me time and stress.
Food - We spent £20 on food by sending my daughters uncle with the order for 10 happymeals which were chosen by guests parents on rsvp
Bowls used for jelly were supplied by venue as were plastic spoons.
Cake - Birthday cake was made by Nanny for free...
Jelly and icecream cost less than £3
Total cost was £57.38 plus £5 paid for fruit squash and tea and coffee for parents.
Time to clear up the food mess 10 minutes max. Stress for me - minimal.
I had a great time as did my daughter I am planning on doing it again this year.
Summary: lets party!!!!
