Throwing a memorable birthday party for your child doesn’t have to break the bank. With a little creativity and some strategic planning, you can host a fantastic celebration that your child and their friends will love. Here are some tips to help you throw a kids’ birthday party on a budget.
Set a budget
The first step in planning a budget-friendly birthday party is determining what budget means for you. Are you willing to spend time on DIYs to save some extra money or do you prioritise time-saving options that set everything up for you? Having clear expectations and a budget will help you make informed decisions and avoid overspending.
Pick a great community space
One of the biggest expenses of a birthday party can be the venue. Instead of renting an expensive space, consider community venues like local churches, scout halls, and surf life-saving clubs. These spaces often have large halls perfect for kids to run around and play games. They are blank canvases, allowing you to decorate as you like to create the perfect setting. Many community spaces also offer outdoor areas, kitchens, and other facilities including free parking, making them as convenient as hosting at home.
Not only are community spaces so convenient but they are also budget-friendly with many priced from $30 per hour.

DIY
If you want to save those extra dollars and have the extra time then DIY is a great solution. Get creative with decorations and invitations and consider making them yourself. This can also be a fun activity to do with your child.
