Make It Easy

I believe kids birthday parties can be awesome without being difficult. You don’t have to include everything in order for your child to love the party. My motto when planning a party is to Let It Be Easy!

Do the things that make it less stressful for you to plan. For example – you can spend numerous hours baking and decorating a fabulous, 7 layered, multi-colored cake. Or you can spend an hour baking boxed cupcakes that you add a little frosting and sprinkles to.

You get to choose the things that you want to spend time on, and if baking is not your favorite thing, then save the time and energy and make the easy cupcakes instead.

You can also spend hours combing Pinterest for party ideas and tools to help you plan your party, or you can just snag the ones that have everything you need. Our

Stick To The Essentials

Nowadays, parents tend to go way overboard when they are planning a birthday party for their child. I’m all about having fun and making the party memorable, but there is no need to spend $400+ to do so! When you are planning your party, just make sure you stick to the essentials – location, decorations, snacks, games, cake, and presents. That’s all you need!

You can decide based off your budget how much you spend on each thing, but I’ll tell you, I’m a big fan of spending no more than $100 on a party to include the essentials, and that’s for up to 10 kids.
