We want to plan our 6-year old girl's birthday party without breaking the bank. Any ideas?!!?

Question

We have a large family of adults and kids of all ages. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks ;)

Answer 1

You can have it in your home and you can cook the food and just buy him a pinata. If you get ideas tell me because my son b-day it's coming soon 2 and I live in an apartment so I can't make a lot of noise. Good luck!!

Answer 2

Go to the park, make the party right after lunch so that all you have to provide is ice cream, cake and drinks.

The kids can play on the playground and the adults can talk.

You can get a pinata also for like 25 at walmart.

Answer 3

You can rent one of those moon-walk water slides for about $100. That will keep all ages busy!

You can bbq hot dogs and burgers. Ask the adults to bring their favorite side dish and you can give a prize to the favorite..a $15 giftcard.

Answer 4

You can have a party at the park - get there early and set up some clues for a treasure hunt for the kids to follow. You can make some cupcakes and not decorate them  - take the icing, sprinkles, etc with you and allow the kids to decorate them the way they like (great activity b/c it doesn't cost much, and they have a blast decorating them!) ... call and order pizza for the party. I did this for my son's 1st birthday - every single pizza place I called ran a special when you bought so many pizzas (we got 10 pizzas for $60 and not having to cook anything was awesome!)

You could go to a skating rink if there is one around.. check to see if there are any farms that would allow you to hold a party there. The kids can have fun seeing all the different animals, and also it could be educational as they can learn about how a farm works.

Chuck E Cheese is also a good option. One price per child.. includes tokens, food, etc.. and everything is already decorated, and you don't have to clean up anything. Might seem expensive, but when you figure out how much you would pay for everything seperately, it actually comes out to being about the same.

If you have any zoos or small theme parks around you - call and check how much group rates are and determine if that would be a possibility.
