Another way to save money on party supplies is to shop at discount stores instead of stores party supply. You can often save money by buying in bulk. Also, just because something says it is disposable, does not mean that you can only use once. Durable cups and plates can be washed and reused several times.
You can save money by creating your own party invitations. You can even let your children help with the project so they can be part of the party planning. Keep the number of guests to a limit that fits their budget comfortably.
