IDEAS FOR CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAY PARTIES

To celebrate our children's birthday it is not necessary to spend a lot of money in leisure centers, entertainers and decoration. Children don't care how much we spend, but have fun and have fun.

Thanks to the amount of resources that we can find today, with some inspiration and a lot of imagination it is possible to make a big party without having to spend too much money.

Of course, the preparations will not take a little longer than if we bought everything done or someone did it for us, but it is also a good idea to ask for the child's collaboration. So we will have extra help, but above all because making him a participant in the preparation of his party will make him very excited.

Let's see some economic ideas to celebrate children's birthday parties.

Theme parties

Now they are very fashionable the theme parties. The idea is to look for an “excuse” around which all the elements that make up a birthday celebration revolve.

It seems to me a most original proposal because it allows us to go beyond the balloons, the typical pennants and birthday posters. We can put together a story context in which the child is the protagonist of the story.

Girls love fairy parties, princesses, butterflies, flowers; Children are more like the superhero or pirate roll. You can also turn to your favorite characters (for example Hello Kitty or Ben Ten, which are all the rage among girls and boys).

Another option is to resort to simpler motifs such as animals, colors, the sea, space, summer, sports ... In short, they can be countless things and here your preferences will have much to do with your kids.

The decoration

The decoration plays a fundamental role in the theme parties because thanks to it we create the environment of the theme that we have chosen (well, that the child has chosen).

To decorate the house, the terrace or the garden you can use fabrics, handmade paper ornaments, drawings made by the child, flowers. Of course, the balloons can not be missing, children love them, but think about the colorful decoration so that the balloons go to match. You can find them in different shapes and colors (pastel, bright, pearly, etc.) and even balloons with light.

A good idea is to hang colored paper lamps from the ceiling or make garlands with unusual objects such as a pair of round ones.

The table can be decorated with a matel painted by the children, and you can even try it with the dishes (buying some plastic plates and painting them with colored markers). You can also decorate the glasses as if they were a flower.

I also invite you to take a look at the tips on party decoration that you give us from the savings blog I arrive at the end of the month.

The invitations

It is also not necessary to buy the invitations, although according to what invitations it can sometimes be cheaper to buy ready-made ones than to buy ink cartridges and print them at home. Another cheaper option is to take the design in digital format and print them in a printing center. Or buy personalized invitations on the internet and print them at home.

If you or any acquaintance you can turn to dominates some design program like Photoshop or similar you can create the birthday invitations yourself.

They can be a classic model or some more sophisticated with the favorite character, the photo of the child, or if you prefer it, a design that alludes to the type of thematic party to be celebrated is much better. For example, a picture of the girl dressed as a fairy or the pirate boy. The invitations will be super original.

Food

Food is part of the party, so it has to be attractive and fun. Creativity is also shown on the table, so worms and chips are very good, but there are other things we can prepare for children to eat healthy and rich.

It is important that they are snacks to eat with your hands. I give you some economic ideas and easy to prepare.

Individual mini-pizzas
Individual mini burgers
Craft cookies decorated with party motifs
Muffins or cupcakes decorated (also very fashionable)
Fruits cut and dipped in chocolate to eat with chopsticks
Individual homemade popcorn sachets
Sweets, candies and lollipops inside vases, jars or boats lined with wrapping paper.

Of course, you can not miss the birthday cake.

The games

In any children's party worth its salt, games cannot be missed. Children are entertained and participate more with organized games than playing each one on their side.

It is not necessary to hire animators or children's monitors. With the collaboration of some parents or friends you can organize some fun games.

Lifetime games don't fail. Classics such as chair play or donkey tail are infallible. On one occasion I talked about five games for children's parties.
