What are some cheap party tips if I’m on a budget?

The first thing to be aware of is that the more guests you have, the more money you’ll end up spending on food and supplies. If you’re trying to be frugal inviting fewer guests is a good first step. If you want to plan a party that is outside of your house, but still affordable try throwing a party at a park or fast food restaurant like McDonald’s or a pizza parlor. If you want to make more of a trip of it, some less expensive places you can go include the Movie Theater, a Children’s Science Museum, a church, or even check out your local fire department. If you want to save money on food try to make the food yourself as opposed to ordering from somewhere. Or you can scratch lunch altogether and just write “cake and ice cream” on the invites. That way guests will know to eat beforehand. Some other frugal ideas include making your own invitations and playing games in which you need very little props or supplies.
