Childrens Birthday parties

Children's Birthday parties can become very expensive. With the economy as it is today we can have great parties at low prices.Making the cake yourself can save you big time. with all the recipes out there you can fun finding just the right cake for any theme too! At my grand daughters party recently the theme was "farm", (she loves her farm animals), they picked the "kitty Litter cake" It looks like a cat's litter box that has been well used but it's really cake & very good too! they made the decorations as well. They look great & cut cost.

Making the food yourself is another way to cut cost. Be creative! You really can have fun & why shell out extra cash for a caterer when you don't have to?
The games are always a hit with the kids. You need to hire a clown or pony for the party. Again; be creative.
This low cost party was a big hit & "kids" of all ages had a great time! Another note. you don't need a professional photographer either. any simple camera can capture the memories for years to come. Have a couple people taking pictures can really get some great shots, different angles as well. So, as you see, there are ways to have fun & save money. Cutting cost in this economy doesn't have to cut out the fun.
OK, your turn, send us your family fun ways to save money & cut cost in this economy!!!
