However. When I need ideas, and I have a mental block, I can reach out to
friends [albeit Facebook friends] for help.
That is what happened as I need inexpensive ideas for birthday party
for our soon to be 5 year old because he has asked [nicely]
to have a small party with some preschool friends.
We also have a party planned the following weekend for
family- different theme, different budget.
I love the idea of a Pajamas & Pancakes Party.
Our budget is $40 total for food, decor, etc for 10-12 kiddos.
Here is my anticipated breakdown on budget:
