Budget-friendly birthday party ideas

Birthdays come once a year, so it’s always nice to plan a memorable celebration for your friends and family when their birthday is near. Finding birthday party venues in London is undoubtedly a challenging task, but similarly, there is often an expectation for such parties to be a grand gesture. There are plenty of opportunities for low-key, high-value celebrations, mainly if they are being shared with your family and friends. Here are few fantastic ideas for an affordable birthday party that is perfect for your loved ones.

Viva piñata

Some activities are timelessly fun and rewarding. Piñatas fit this mould perfectly and are often overlooked as an excellent centrepiece for a fantastic birthday party. If you want to try another take on things, try setting up a separate piñata just for the adults. There is something intrinsically entertaining about a grown man or woman flailing a brightly coloured stick at a paper-mâché donkey in a bid for tasty candy.

Movie night

If the climate is a little too hot or cold outside, then seek some sanctuary indoors and chill out for a movie session. Get yourself some large bowls of popcorn at the ready, find a movie that everyone will truly enjoy and settle in for a night of beautiful screen indulgence. You can also expect a binge movie watching to take hold by the end of the night.

Bring the indoors outside

If the weather permits, there is no better way to enjoy the company of family and friends than around a table on a warm day in the summer. To add a little something extra, you can bring some of your indoor furniture outside. Add the sense of comfort with the perfect climate and a spread of tasty food makes for a truly unforgettable birthday.

Light up the night in style

If your small party makes its way into the evening, then keep the fun outside to make it memorable. Place some nice tea-candles to illuminate your outdoor area. Try to create a beautiful, ambient mood where you can chill out with your family and friends.

Popcorn paradise

Try your hand at making a variety of different flavours of popcorn. This new trend has allowed for some unique varieties of popcorn – from an elegant rosemary/sea salt blend to traditional caramel corn. Look for classic, old-fashioned movie bags, or try to source some old apothecary jars and fill them with your popcorn.
