- Choose your location carefully
Any venue that is not home sweet home will take a big slice out of your budget. If your child has their heart set on laser tag, transform your back yard into a tactical zone with boxes and branches to create a nerf gun war zone.
Almost any theme can be created at home to some degree or another, and that will put more in your pocket for the gift they have been talking all year about.
Just remember to be cautious of your guest list if you go to a destination for the party, and don’t go over budget just to appease the guests.
