Any ideas on where to go or how to celebrate a kids birthday with little money?

Question

Thanks for your ideas..

Answer 1

Drinks can juices n pepsi....This stuff is really cheap

and you can buy a lot of cheap stuff at dollor stores. (for loot bag)

Answer 2

Have a party at home. Buy the food from the grocery store, pizza, burgers, chicken tenders, stuff like that. Buy some games from Party City and your set.

Answer 3

Your city's parks are a great place to host a b-day. Most have playgrounds and some of the larger ones even have water features that the kids can play in. Make all sorts of kid friendly sandwiches  (pb&j, bologne, ham) a few of the xxl sive pottatoe chips bangs disposible napkins and plate can be purchased at the 99 cent store with drinks and ....there you go a party the kids can wear themselve out ot that has minimal cleanup and everone is happy.

Answer 4

Have a party at your house and make the cake yourself. Buy some streamers and balloons and invite their friends and family over. I think they will have fun. I hope this helped.

Answer 5

Whats better than having it right where u live. Have a family bbq and pool party if u got a pool.

Answer 6

If it's in summer it's really easy. Go to Dollar General... Get a $5 slip and slide (or use a tarp if you have one) and set that up. Get some water balloons, a pack of squirt guns (a whole pack is $1), and any other water related things you find there that's affordable. Make a huge water day! Serve cheap foods, like hot dogs, chips, and punch (and plain water, with all the heat and water activities!!). This would cost little to nothing to throw!

Answer 7

Chucky Cheese

Answer 8

I used to work at Chuck E. Cheese's. I am pretty sure that if you reserve a "group event" instead of a birthday party, each kid gets 2 slices of pizza and a small drink for $1 per kid. The downside is that Chuck E. Cheese doesn't sing for you, you don't get a cake with the package (though you can buy one anyway) and you don't get the birthday decorations and things like that. But CEC might still be doing the thing where each game is only one token.

Another option is going to a park and having a cookout. The kids can run around and play, and swim if there is a lake. Maybe buy a pinata.

Answer 9

A public park is always a good idea. My hubby and I are always broke, so we can't afford the fancy places. Parks are usually free to reserve, and you can get little party favors at the dollar store. We actually went to one yesterday where all the kids got silly string and water balloons and they had a blast! Depending on how old your child is, just put a bunch of kids together and they can entertain themselves! Just have to do all the clean up on your own when you can't afford a "party hostess"! :( Good luck!

Answer 10

Well you can host the party at ur home.

You can serve stuff lik french fries,burgers,patties n all which can b prepared at home......Drinks can juices n pepsi....This stuff is really cheap.

Answer 11

Have a picnic in the park (one with a play structure). All you have to go is bring yummy food, set it out on a picnic table, and the kids will amuse themselves.

Answer 12

If you have a park with a play ground or sprinkler systems just have the party there.....do it at like 2:00 or 3:00 so kids will already have ate lunch and you can just serve cake and icecream. You can even make the cake yourself to save money.

If you have a pool at your house do a pool party.

You can also have a sleepover at your house. Just order a pizza or two and serve cake and soda...you really wouldn't need too many activities....just maybe a movie/dvd or two and the kids could play with the toys your child has.

Answer 13

hhhhmmmmmm....... you could have a party at a local pool with games like thorowing pennies in the pool and having kids get them...... sorry kind of a bad answer.

            GOOD LUCK! ( ;

Answer 14

Get a movie that the kids will enjoy, pop some popcorn, and then after the movie, eat some cake and ice cream!

Answer 15

Have the party right at your house let the kids play with water and let them have a big water fight then cook up the hotdogs and hamburgers, blast the music and let him/her choose a one friend to sleep over!!

Answer 16

I had a birthday party for my son last year in which we did a treasure hunt.  I just got some cheap little prizes from the dollar tree.  it was his 4th birthday, so its not like he understood the difference between cheap stuff and expensive.  since the kids were not old enough to read, i used pictures instead of words for the clues, and elisted the help of parents for the smaller kids like 2 year olds.  the kids had a blast, and us parents had a good time watching the kids run around trying to figure out what the pictures meant.

Answer 17

Take the family and maybe a couple of friends to the park and grill burgers or hot dogs. Have a cake. Let kid play with friends at the park. They will have a blast.

If they are older the same thing will work but try to go to a lake where they can swim then grill their own hotdogs over a bonfire.

You do not have to have a corporate Chuck E Cheese type party no matter what the ads try to tell you. Or if you have done it before you do not have to do it every year.

Answer 18

We have a state park near our house. It costs like $3 to get in. You could have a picnic there with a few friends.

For my youngests 8th bday last October we had a big party there. We cooked hamburgers and had fruit and vegetable trays and a pinata and the kids played at the playground. I made cupcakes instead of a cake. It was so much fun but so much work for me!

This year she wants the party at the same place but I am sending my hubby for pizza instead of having to do all the cooking! It will be easier!
