Real Parties, Real Budget!

Happy Monday!!! I know we’re way past the new year but I’ve been having so much thought since the year began (yup, a whole 2 weeks, lol!) about what I really truly want for The Party Muse, especially the blog. What I set out to do over a year ago was to definitely plan children’s parties locally but, my second goal was to INSPIRE (hence “Muse”) mothers. Everyday moms like me who don’t have a ton of $, but want to do something special for their kids birthdays. I feel like while I’m chasing my dream of being Queen Mother of NJ children’s parties, I’ve lost sight of what I really truly want to do, and that’s being a source of inspiration to other moms so that they can throw REAL PARTIES on a REAL BUDGET for their children!

So, I’m introducing my first blog series. The name is of course REAL PARTIES, REAL BUDGET. I will be showing you a finished product party for 8 kids, all on a $100 budget! It totally can be done, and I’m happy to be able to be the one to show you. I think $100 is low enough to where if you wanted to spring for something extra that’s not in my plan, you’re still not breaking the bank. I’m not sure how often it will run right now but I’m shooting for monthly.

In this time in our country, with the economy being what it is, with so much job loss, with the message to our kids on TV is that more is better, I really think it would be irresponsible of me to somehow be part of that by showing you some huge production $$$ photo shoot that you can’t translate into your everyday life’s parties. When I do a real clients party chances are it’s WAY over $100 and I’ll still show it but, I just want to make sure you’re getting the full picture. Can you do a huge $3K party, YES but you don’t have to, that’s the point I want everyone to hear.

**Boys theme Robot party up first. Will show first week of February.**
