With my little lady's 4th
birthday fast approaching - as well as the limit on my overdraft...its time to
arrange an awesome party on a non-existent budget!
I like to put my own handmade, quirky
‘lil stamp on things and party planning is no different!! There's the
mouse ears head bands and pink with white polka dots cupcakes from the Minnie
Mouse party, a freaking awesome Elmo cake with Elmo cake bites and Elmo party
hats for my best friends sons party, and the Monster High cake from last year
which had pink and blue sponge under the black fondant!
Being a resident of Leighland, I have
a compulsion to top these quirky details each year...but how do I do that this
year with no money?!
Well for starters, the whole being broke thing
kinda helps. Kids birthday parties are generally held in a soft play...at
£9 per kid for the cheapest party before taking into account the cost of cakes
and party bags, with 14 kids to invite, there was just no way we could manage
that this year. Que cheesy playlist on the laptop, a super cool colour
changing disco ball borrowed from a pal and a handful of tacky £1 musical
statues/pass the parcel prizes followed by catering courtesy of Maccy D's!!
Price per kid = £3.10!!
Yay!!
I talked a little about the cake in
my last post and have now enlisted the help of a very talented gal pal who is
making 2 batches of 12 MH inspired cupcakes and after rooting through my craft
chest, I found I had enough silver rolo chain and some fab little kitsch
cupcake and cherry charms to make necklaces as party favours for all of the attendees!
I think I'll have some happy little
girls here next week, now if only I could think of something cool to use as
party favours for the 2 boys that will be there....any suggestions??
