Spider-Man Birthday under $100
1:26 PM
As a mom of two awesome children ages five years and six months
budget friendly activities are necessary. Birthday celebrations are fun but
they must be under $100.
My son just celebrated his 5th birthday
and of course, he wanted a Spider-Man theme, what little boy wouldn't! This
party consisted of 20 guests.
TIPS
Start Planning Early. I start planning for celebrations at
least four months before the date. I figure out a theme and then search for all
types of inspirations on the big ol' World Wide Web.
Use Simple Base Colors. Spider-Man's main colors are red and
blue. Detail colors are black, white and yellow. We chose red and blue for tablecloths
and paper products for an easier match to the character items we purchase.
Use Coupons. Places like Party City are a great source for supplies.
They offer coupons through their royalty program and email specials. I saved
20% on our entire purchase of gifts, candy and wrap.
Shop Dollar Stores. You would be surprised what you will find in your theme.
98% of my son's Spider-Man Birthday decorations, paper products, favor bags and
gifts were purchased at Dollar Tree. I suggest going to different Dollar
Trees as not all items are the same at each store.
Stock Up. I personally buy more supplies than I need. I recommend
buying one extra package of paper plates, cups, plastic utensils (clear), and
tablecloths. These items are solid colors that can be saved for another
celebration. I have been able to put together quick and "free"
celebrations at the last minute from the extra supplies. I bought one
extra package of cups, plates and two tablecloths. These will be going towards our
after Christmas Christmas Party.
Sprinkle the Expensive Stuff. This is where most of your budget is
going to go and quickly! The big-ticket items like piñatas if you don't make it
yourself is close to $20. The cake was our most expensive purchase. A half
sheet yellow cake with Spider-Man theme and a Spider-Man toy cost $35.00 from
Price Chopper.
This is how our $100 was spent…..
Tableware $14 (all dollar Store items with
Spider-Man theme)
Decorations $8 (all dollar Store items
with Spider-Man theme)
Favor Bags $9 (all dollar Store items with
Spider-Man theme & Party City candy)
Gifts $20 (dollar Store items with
Spider-Man theme & Party City items)
Cake $35
Pizza $12
Salad $0 friend made
Ice Cream $0 friend brought
Kool aid $0- had it
In total we had a pretty awesome Spider-Man themed Party for 20
people and it only cost us $98!!!
This Birthday Boy is still claiming "This is the best birthday ever"!!!
