More Frugal Birthday Parties for Kids!

We’ve been talking about Frugal Birthday Parties.  I told you about my daughter’s dress up party, and her shopping party. 

This one can be for a birthday party or any kids party.  I love doing swim parties.  They are fun and easy!  I do them with a little “twist” though. 

All of my kids parties were sleepovers (well most of them) and the first swim party I am going to tell you about is perfect for a sleepover.  We don’t have a pool, so we had to use the community pool or a friend’s pool.  But, for birthday parties we did midnight swim parties.  Kid’s LOVE that they get the pool to themselves and at night!  So, that was always a hit. 

They would come early and we would have hotdogs, chips, drinks, cake and some play time – video games, trampoline time, and then when midnight rolled around we loaded them up and headed to the pool!  They loved it, then they slept ALL NIGHT – usually outside on the trampoline in the backyard!  

The second type of pool party we did for our youth group (Hubby and I were Youth Pastors for many, many years).  I loved to have a Christmas pool party!  I would find an indoor pool and do it at night and they loved it!  They don’t often get to swim in the winter and it’s a fun treat!  We did a few indoor pool parties for summer birthdays, too, but, the winter pool parties were definitely the favorite for them.

So, there you have it 2 more great ideas for Frugal Birthday parties!
