Birthday Supplies Don’t Have to Break the Bank

When you’re hosting a birthday party, you might want to break open a pinata but not necessarily your piggy bank. With a little creativity and some smart shopping, you’ll be able to find birthday supplies at bargain prices.

One of the best ways to save money on party supplies is to plan ahead. If your teenager will have a birthday this year (and all of them will) start making a list of teen birthday party ideas now. A party comes together more quickly and you’ll probably spend less on supplies if you have a theme in mind. The theme will give you focus and keep you from buying party supplies that you really don’t need.

When you have a theme party in mind for several weeks, you can shop for sales on party supplies, favors and even food.

Teen Party Themes

Teens will enjoy a birthday party with a Hawaiian luau or beach party theme. Use a pig-shaped piñata placed on a spit as a centerpiece. Later in the party you can let the teens break it open. Give plastic flower leis as party favors. Buy bamboo tiki torches and grass skirts from an online party supply company. These items are fairly inexpensive and can be re-used at future parties or even given away as party favors.

For refreshments, purchase bamboo skewers and fill them with fruit, meat and cheese or even candy. Grab a bamboo pole and some tunes and get the party started with the limbo.

It’s also easy to plan a teen party around a movie. Make watching the flick a part of the party. Buy party supplies that tie in with the movie. If the movie doesn’t have it’s own licensed party ware, be creative. If your teen daughter loved the Princess Diary movies, shop party supply sites for plastic tiaras, pink napkins and plates and even a toy bow and arrow. Use the bow and arrow to see which girl can shoot an arrow through a hoop.
