Budget-Friendly Kids Party Tips by Melbourne Function Venue II
When a reader inquired about relatively low cost party ideas for her children, my mind instantly started churning up ideas for a party at home. When she further explained that her home was not an option however, the party planning focus quickly shifted from how to have a party on a budget to where to do it on a budget. Finally, she decided on an indoor pool party, but there are several other choices for anyone looking for a kids’ party function venue that’s both fun and budget friendly.

5. Town Buildings
Ask around the neighborhood about places you may never have considered. Other places that might have party rooms including the library, museum and church.
Some of these community spaces charge fees to support their services and some might not rent, but only donate their rooms for non-profits or fundraisers. You might be able to rent one of these spaces by setting up a donation bin at your party and you can also ask attendees to bring an item for charity in lieu of a birthday gift.
As Melbourne Function Venue see, some museums offer free admission at school holidays. Schedule your party on one of those holidays and invite friends for a self-guided tour of the museum, with a budget-friendly lunch at a nearby pizzeria later on.
6. Movie Theater
The cost per ticket for a typical admission to a movie theater does not typically make the movies a relatively low cost place to celebrate a birthday. Some cinemas, however, provide birthday party packages to make this choice more affordable. Some theaters even provide private screenings, but you need to be willing to throw your party in the morning avoiding normal business hours. At times, some theaters even show last year’s films for free, or for as tiny as one dollar per person, one morning a week.
7. Bowling Alley No matter you just rent the lanes, rent the private room or choose one of the whole party packages offered by many bowling centers, the bowling birthday party usually ranks as the least expensive of children’s party function venue options compare to others. The lower cost does not mean less fun by any means.
8. The Mall
Here is a place where you could host your guests for free. The food court offers seating and a central meeting place. From there adult chaperons could escort small groups on an excursion, for example a digital image scavenger hunt or amazing race themed party. Arrange the party between meal times and after the games are done, treat guests to low cost food court items for example pretzels or ice cream cones – or even bring your own cupcakes.
9. Restaurants
If your guest list is short, a restaurant might work well for your celebration. Think pizzerias. You could invite children to meet at the pizza place and treat them buy lunch or dinner for the same budget you could spend to order the pies delivered to home. By partying at the pizza place, however, you do not need to worry about cleaning up the mess. Bring some table games to keep kids entertained and ask the proprietor beforehand if you could bring your own cake.
Other places that can be taken into consideration by Melbourne Function Venue:
- Ice cream parlors: ask guests to meet after dinnertime for a sweet dessert party.
- Fast food restaurants: value menu choices cut the cost of feeding a group.
- Pancake houses: have a breakfast party with low cost pancakes from the children’s menu.
- Chain restaurants (choose dessert only or ask about a discounted menu for a group)
