Cheap Kids Birthday Party Gumball Centerpiece Ideas

Cheap Birthday Party Food Ideas

Buying from a bakery can get pricey, here are a few ideas to cut the cost of food and goodies.

Here are a few of my favorite cheap birthday party food ideas that you can either make or upgrade to fit your theme. 

 

Colorful Fruit Skewers

 

Fruit skewers are a birthday must-have for me, for many reasons. First, they are a healthy option, secondly, they add a great pop of color to the food table.

I especially love how they used a cookie cutter to shape these fruit for a fun flair. The best way to keep this a cheap option is to buy fruit that is in season and assembling them yourself.

Ladybug Cheese Wheels

 

Oh, I love a good-themed treat.

These ladybug cheese wheels are a great way to add to your table without spending tons of money.

Updating Grocery Store Cakes

 

Like I said before, to save money, skip the pricey bakery cakes.

Most of the time when you go to the bakery section of your grocery store, there are a certain number of pre-made cakes ready to take home.

Although they can be very pretty, they may not fit your party theme. This is why I love how to use low-cost cakes and revamp them into professional-looking masterpieces.

Bonus, you don’t even have to be a master baker to make them look good. 

 

Store Bought Cake Ideas


Cheap Kids Birthday Party Rice Krispie Ideas

 

I feel like there are a MILLION different ways you can spruce up simple Rice Krispie treats. They are an easy, inexpensive treat that with just a cookie cuter and maybe a few decorations can fit into any themed birthday.

From stars, paintbrushes, and crazy creatures, you can turn them into anything at a low cost.

Lego Cookies

 

Trust me, I will be the first to admit royal icing cookies are NOT EASY! I love the look for these super cute, detailed, and fancy royal icing cookies, but they can be expensive.

Who wants to spend all that money on something that is going to be eaten anyway?

These lego cookies are a fun royal icing cookie idea that anyone can make, you totally don’t have to be a pro!

Cheap Birthday Party Favor Ideas

When it comes to party favors I always try to make ones that double as decorations during the party. This can cut on the cost of decorations but still add a little fun to your decor.

Crayon Party Favors

 

I love this colorful Crayon Party from our archives which makes this crayon-themed party favor a perfect idea for kids’ birthday parties.

With just a few simple supplies like a marker box, notepad, bubbles, candy, and squishy, you can create a fun and dynamic party favor at a low cost. 

 

Party Favor Ideas


Cheap Birthday Party Personalized Bracelets Ideas

 

Grab a jumbo pack of beads and some twine and create colorful custom bracelets for all your guests.

This is such a cute DIY for your kids to make themselves for each of their friends.

Playdoh for Everyone

 

Playdoh is a great bang for your buck when it comes to party favors. Each guest can take home their own container of fun playdoh to play with later.

I love how they added a fun on-theme sticker for this donut theme party. That is such a great way to add a little more of a personalized touch at a low cost.

Individual Goodie Bags

 

Create a tasty candy or snack mix, bonus if it’s on theme with the party. Like this Unicorn Poop mix, it’s perfect for a Unicorn Magic party and it’s a sweet mix all the guests can take home with them and snack on later.

This is a budget-friendly option because you can make a large batch of the mix with simple ingredients at a lower cost.

  • What a week! We are starting to thaw out here in Texas, but it’s been a doozy. Despite the catastrophic damage, inconveniences and lack of supplies on shelves, it’s been amazing to see people come together and help one another. There really is something to the Texas spirt that inspires people to think of others over self. ⁣

That being said, we’re ready for warmer weather! Bring on the sun and ALL the rainbows! ⁣

My rainbow SVG & Printable Bundle is LIVE and today I’m sharing how to create a Rainbow Cake Topper three different ways. You can make this topper with or without a Cricut Machine out of felt, paper or a printable!

  • It’s hard to believe, but our very last Valentine’s Box is finished!  This is a yearly task that most parents loathe, but for some reason we absolutely adore it. We love taking something our daughters are really into and turning it into a physical box. ⁣
⁣
We love the excuse to spend the weekend together, brainstorming construction and giggling away as we create the box. This year, my Star Wars-obsessed daughter knew EXACTLY what she wanted. This is the helmet of Bo-Katan, her favorite character in The Mandalorian. We are all about #girlpower over here so we jumped on it and went to work. We used papier-mâché for the first time and can’t stop laughing that the helmet box is as big is she is.⁣
⁣
It was the perfect box and memory to end this fabulous tradition. I’m not quite ready, but farewell Valentine’s Box days. Middle school Valentine-angst here we come. #bokatan #themandalorian #starwarsart #diyideas #valentinesdaybox #usetheforce
