Frugal Photo Friday: Cheap Birthday Party Decorations

Welcome to Frugal Photo Friday! This month I am partnering with Crystal, from Money Saving Mom. Each Friday we are sharing pictures of simple ways that we save money.

I always want my kids to have 'big' birthday party memories but I don't want those memories to cost me big bucks! Here are some ways we keep the cost down while piling on lots of birthday 'bang'! 1. Start a birthday morning tradition. Several years ago my daughter woke up with a pile of balloons on her bed. That first start to the morning has become a tradition. Now we sometimes even tape streamers down the hall for them to weave their way through. Cost: $1.25 for streamers at Walmart; Bag … [Read more...]
