Sometimes, throwing a kid\u2019s birthday party can be a real pain. You have to prepare a bunch of food for your guests, entertain a house full of kids<\/a>, and pull it all together with a little style.<\/p>\n

It can be expensive and stressful \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t have to be!<\/p>\n

Here are five tips for throwing an awesome kids birthday party on the cheap:<\/p>\n

\"cheap\"cheap1. Choose a theme<\/h2>\n

While choosing a theme isn\u2019t a necessity, it can help you pull your party together.<\/p>\n

When you choose a theme, you can come up with snack ideas, games, and d\u00e9cor more easily. Choose a simple theme that your kid is sure to love, and use it as your party guide.<\/p>\n

For example, my youngest daughter has a birthday<\/a> just around the corner. When trying to come up with a theme, she jumped from rainbows to flowers to ladybugs. My solution was to just have a \u201cspring adventure\u201d theme, for which I could pull all of her ideas together.<\/p>\n

2. Prepare simple food<\/h2>\n

Food and drink can be the most expensive part of the party. That\u2019s why keeping your menu simple is the best way to keep costs down.\u00a0Instead of trying to please everyone, just offer bottled water, freshly brewed tea, and juice boxes.\u00a0As for the food, classics like hamburgers and hot dogs will work just fine.<\/p>\n

3. Buy supplies at the dollar store<\/h2>\n

The Dollar Tree is my party supply store, but you can visit any of your local dollar stores. You\u2019ll find so many party supplies for only one dollar \u2014 go elsewhere, and you\u2019ll spend at least triple the price.\u00a0Some of my favorite party supplies to buy from The Dollar Tree are plates, balloons, snacks, napkins, cups, and decorations.<\/p>\n

4. Play free games<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t put a price on fun \u2014 but you don\u2019t have to pay for it either!<\/p>\n

Some of the best party games won\u2019t cost you a penny. Here are some of my favorites:<\/p>\n
