Had dinner for 18 adults and 4 kids at a nice restaurant, DIY decorations, custom cake and favors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-1#post-491656 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:50:34 +0000 heffalump 491656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember.... but not that much. I DIYed most of it with things I already had around the house. All I had to buy was food (brunch for 25 people that I made myself) and the cake. And I bought favors for kids but I got those on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-1#post-491592 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:25:44 +0000 lemondrop 491592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less than $100, we went out to brunch and did homemade cupcakes afterwards. Decorated with balloons and streamers. </p> <p>That includes our gift to him- the Fisher Price Zoo... on sale at Wal-mart, was supposed to be $40, we got charged $19.50!!! Got very lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-1#post-491492 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:01:28 +0000 autumnlove 491492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less than $100 but it was a family party for 12 people. Dominos pizza (coupons), cake from the grocery store and dollar store decor. I'm going all out next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-1#post-491487 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:59:39 +0000 littlek 491487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure... my guess would be around $1k </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-1#post-491403 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:44:48 +0000 loveisstrange 491403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We havent talked budget yet. I'd like to keep it between $500-1000, cheaper is always better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-los-first-birthday-1#post-491394 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:42:30 +0000 pinkcupcake 491394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning LO's 1st birthday party right now, and it looks like we're gonna spend around $1,500 for everything. It's more than we planned on spending, so I'm trying to see what we can cut back on or DIY to save on costs. </p> <p>What about you? </p>
