How To Save Money On Your Child’s Birthday Party - TPM Catering

With energy prices and inflation having both risen astonishingly quickly, you are likely to be investigating new ways of tightening your belt. However, what if a child of yours will soon be celebrating a birthday – and expecting a fun-filled party to suit? 

Given how the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc with children’s birthday parties, you could be heartened to know that it’s perfectly possible to significantly trim the cost of one without the birthday boy or girl even noticing. You could, for example, follow these tips… 

Throw the party at home 

Even if the traditional thing for your child’s birthdays has been celebrating them in an external venue, you might have departed from this rule in 2020 and 2021.

So, if you choose your own home as the party location for the third year running, there’s the comfort of knowing that your little one probably won’t object. You could even hold the party in your garden, weather obviously permitting. 

Arrange for an outside caterer to prepare the food

As we offer birthday party catering services in London, the home counties and even further afield, we can prepare custom food options for a wide range of birthday occasions. 

We know clever ways of financially streamlining the culinary options for a child’s birthday party. For example, we can supply bowl food rather than major meals. Furthermore, not only can we provide the likes of cutlery, crockery, and glassware, but we can also take all of this away dirty!

Send out digital, rather than printed, invitations

While opting for printed invitations can require you to spend on not only readymade cards but also postal costs, e-invites can actually be free. That’s because it’s easy to find free online templates that can serve as the basis for digital invitations you both design and email.

Save up for the party in advance

Once you have at least a rough idea of what the party will involve, you can also ascertain a ballpark figure for its budget. Meeting this budget can be a matter of just putting a few loose pennies into a bottle on a weekly basis as the scheduled date for the birthday party approaches. 

When you enquire with TPM Catering about utilising any of our birthday party catering solutions, we can answer questions you may have about our pricing structure. Remember that, as we can work to your bespoke requirements, we are able to serve your party especially cost-effectively.
