Filling up Children's Party Bags
Children's party bags are a necessary part of every youngster's party. The children love them, the parents expect them, and it is hard to imagine not having them. But for the parent trying to plan a party on a limited budget, party bags are one place you can really blow the budget. And in truth, we all know that much of the contents of the bags are not used or thrown away after the party. So, with that in mind, here are some time-tested ideas for cost effective, yet fun children's party bags.
First, the bag itself. One can buy the inexpensive plastic bags sold by any stationary, grocery, drug or discount store. They might even be the cheapest way to go. However, it can be fun and interesting to make the birthday child more a part of the process and have them make the bags themselves. Plain paper bags are readily available in packages. Brown bags are easy to find. With a short search, one can often find white or other colors. Then the birthday child can be involved in coloring or otherwise decorating the party bags, to go along with the theme of the party. A second alternative is to use the decorating of the bag as one of the craft activities for the party. Let each child decorate their own!
Secondly, the contents. Here, pre-planning can save a lot of money. Buying little "gifts" for the party bags at the last minute can be very expensive. Think about party bags all year round. Watch the after-Christmas and other clearance sales for little toys, hair ornaments (for girls), and school supplies that are on major clearance. Buy small notebooks, erasers, markers and colorful pencils for pennies in the fall at back-to-school time.
During the Halloween season, bags of little items are often for sale. Choose those that do not have a Halloween theme, and they will be inexpensive and perfect for your needs. Check out the party aisle of stores as well, and choose one or two of the traditional party toys. Look for packs that provide the most pieces for the least cost. Bulk packs of bubbles and/or play dough are often reasonably priced.
Finally, choose some food items. Juice bags, individually packaged candies bought in bulk, small snack packs of food are all good, reasonably priced choices. With some long-term planning, one can have all you need on hand to make fun, inexpensive party bags for your child's party. It will save money, and, even better, it will save all that last-minute running around.
