Planning a birthday party can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to! After all, there is so much one needs to consider, such as invitations, decorations, party location, gifts, and food, and all of this money to be spent. It’s no wonder parents often feel anxious and overwhelmed. Planning a child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be as stressful as it may seem or appear, in fact, it can be quite fun, inexpensive, and dare I say liberating, for it can provide you with an opportunity to celebrate with your friends and loved ones another successful year.

We often get caught up in thinking that the only way to provide a really enjoyable birthday party is to spend lots of money, equating more money with more fun. Yet, in this mindset, we often lose sight of what birthday parties are really all about: celebrating the life of the child and the company of others. That said, this book was written for parents planning birthday parties on a shoestring budget. This e-book will provide you with ways to cut costs and to also provide you with some thoughts on how you can make the most with what you’ve got. This e-book will give you, the parent, ways to prepare and present an enjoyable birthday party that your child (or children) will enjoy, and without having to break the bank. In fact, virtually all of the tips provided in this book are those you can implement on a budget of twelve dollars or less!

Let me be frank about one thing: The focus of birthdays is to celebrate a child, their accomplishments, and to let them know you love them, are proud of them, and are so blessed to have them in your life. And that’s it.  It is NOT about the party, because the truth is, you don’t need a whole lot to have a really good time with the people you love and care about! And very often, if you take a step back and realize why you’re having the party in the first place, you not only begin to think more clearly about the reasons for why you’re having the birthday party but, by extension, begin to imagine the possibilities for creating meaningful and memorable moments with the people you care about. That’s what this e-book is all about–it was written to help you tap into your inner creativity and to create those memorable moments that will surely last a lifetime.
