Decide on a budget for the party. Parties can easily consume a great deal of money, so it is important to come up with a budget and stick to it.
- Come up with an overall budget, meaning a total amount that you want to spend on the birthday party. Most people believe that a budget up to £200-300 is reasonable, and many feel keeping party costs under £150 is completely doable.
- Break down each element of the party (e.g. invitations, food, drink, decorations, venue) and decide how much should be spent in each area.
