Party Budget :)

I’m proud to share this Party Budget, and the great savings too 🙂 For Thade’s party I had set a budget of $24.75 for the decorations and all of the goodies that I would be serving. I shopped around, and came in under budget! Here is how my budget was broken down:

  • Red and Blue Streamers: Budgeted $4.00-Spent $2.00

  • GRAND TOTAL of $14.90
  • EXTRA ITEM: Horns and Party Hats $1.00
  • EXTRA ITEM: Balloon Plates $1.00
  • GRAND TOTAL INCLUDING EXTRAS $16.90! I ended up $7.85 under budget 🙂

I shopped at Walgreens, Dollar Tree, and Wal-Mart for all of the purchases. I should have enough birthday plates for Dylan’s birthday party next month. I can’t wait to start planning and budgeting all over again 🙂

  4. Thanks Marva! I was pretty proud of my savings! I’m trying my best to stay on track when it comes to entertaining. We all had a lot of fun, plenty to eat, and spent very little 🙂
