- The Simple Dollar presents, “The Economy of Children’s Birthday Parties“. Trent shares nine great tips on how to save money on a party for your child, yet still have a memorable day. Also from The Simple Dollar, “Saving on a Child’s First Birthday Party“. This post is a bit older, but still a great read!
- Frugal Dad shares, “Forget Presents, We Want 529 College Savings Plan Contributions“. Jason feels that, “Instead of piling on present after present, consider making contribution to a child’s education savings fund. The benefits of education far outweigh the effect of a toy or game, and you’ll be helping parents by taking some of the financial burden of college savings off them.”
- How To Me posts about a family tradition of “How to Make a Birthday Tablecloth“. Guests write messages and sign their names on it, year after year. This is a great frugal tradition.
- Finance Gets Personal presents, “Are Children’s Birthday Parties Getting Out of Control?“. Finance Girl states that the trend toward more and more elaborate birthday parties for children is happening throughout the country.
