A Small Party
The first thing that you should be doing is throwing them a small party with some of their friends. This doesn’t have to be massive so that you don’t have to spend a whole bunch of unnecessary money on a party that’s going to last a few hours. Set yourself a budget, and then speak to someone about how big the party size can be for the amount of money that you have available.
Speak to your child and tell them that you have a limit on how many people you can invite, and that they should invite their closest friends before anyone else. They are more likely to enjoy a smaller gathering anyway as they get to spend time with everyone there.
A Budget For Gifts
Next thing that you need to do is set your budget for gifts. Work out how much money you are going to have to spend on the gifts for your child, making sure that you can spend the same on your other kids on their birthdays if they have any. You can shop around and look at a whole range of options depending on what your kids enjoy. If they like lego minifigures then you should be able to get some of these, and a few other things all within your budget.
Show Up For Them
The final thing that we’re going to say is perhaps the most important – show up for them. There are some kids out there who don’t even have parents who turn up for their birthday, or they don’t have the time to spend with them, and this is not what your kids need. More than anything else in the world, your kids are just going to want you to be there for them, and want to spend their birthday with them. If all you can afford is some gifts, a cake, and to spend the day doing something with them, that will be enough.
We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you should be doing to give your kids the best birthday ever without breaking the bank. It’s not always going to be easy, but it is going to be possible if you are willing to think through all of the details. We wish you the very best of luck, and hope that your kid has the best birthday ever!
