It’s hard enough budgeting for one birthday party let alone 2. The Queen celebrates her birthday twice a year; her official birthday is a Saturday in June, usually the second and that’s why we lucky Australians get a public holiday on Monday. Her birthday is normally marked by the Trooping Colour ceremony, the flying of the Union flag on government buildings, a 42-gun salute at noon, and the publication of The Queen's Birthday Honours List. I wander how much all that would cost, it defiantly would'nt be a birthday you 'd forget.
But if you are planning a birthday party for a child, or maybe you’re celebrating a big birthday such as the big 30 or the big 40, you can make it unforgettable at an affordable cost. So what’s your plan to ensure you don’t break the budget and suffer a debt hangover the next morning?
Here are some top tips on how to save when organising a birthday party:
Use a park instead of hiring a venue, there’s some great spots around Adelaide.
Don’t worry about paper invites no one reads them anyway send a group email or send a text.
Bake your own cake or get the kids involved in making one.
Have a combined party with a friend or relative that has a birthday the same time as you.
Plug an IPod in and play your favourite music rather than hiring someone.
You can make it memorable, at an affordable price, simply by using these top tips.
