Birthday Party
Birthday Party
What should my budget be for my birthday party?
I am turning 15 years old on November 10, and I’m planning to have a relatively small birthday party at my house. I have planned to have 12 guests attend and have food, entertainment, and of course FUN!However, I think it’s important that I set a budget for myself so I don’t end up overspending or underspending for the necessities for my birthday party. What is the ideal price range that I should be spending?
Thanks to everyone in advance for answers! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I’m turning 15 too soon! But in January. Blah your lucky haha.
Well first off if your thinking of hiring a DJ DON’T!
Just use your iPod & make a party playlist on iTunes. All you need is a speaker dock. There are cheap ones out there that are just as good as the $200 ones. I got mine for 30 dollars at Target & its pretty cute then just the old plain white ones.
Party Mart & Party City have cheap stuff. So does Target & Walmart.
Also is there a theme? If there is then it might cost more.
Now for food. You could cater but that would cost like 500 maybe even more.
You could just cook your own food. & cake too! Trust me when baking your own cake it tastes way better then the store bought ones. If you want to buy your own though then go to Dairy Queen & buy one. They taste amazing & the only store bought cakes I eat.
There are a ton of recipes on Food Network.com
Here’s the site.

For games just google up party games. There will be a ton of results like this one for example

So adding all that up the estimate cost I would say would be if your really careful 150-200ish.
Hope this helps.
& Happy Early Birthday!
