Their is a huge pool near us that rents out for 2 hours for 150. You are not allowed to bring in chips or things like that so the place stays neat, so I usually just bake cupcakes, and some brownies and cookies for the adults. That is it as far as food. They provide lifeguards, included in the cost, so I don't have to entertain anyone. This year, I made small bags with a foam Christmas tree, a foam star, and some sequins and a piece of ribbon... so each child can make their own ornament at home. It cost next to nothing to make them, just took some time, which was fine to save a bundle of money. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I guess that 150 might sound like a lot, but it is once a year, and it is super easy and there is very little cost other than the pool itself. And all of the kids love it because they get to swim in December. As a matter of fact, their party this year is tonight. So I better get moving... <BR/><BR/>I love all of your ideas!

I can't believe that people actually spend $200-400 on a birthday party!Bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451193396889043909noreply@blogger.com
