so my baby is turning 5 in a few weeks and I am throwing her a bday party for the first time. This is stressful. Party city is so expensive so I'm looking to find her decorations somewhere else. Its a minnie mouse themed party. This is her bday cake
which I ordered with 24 cupcakes with little minnie mouse ears($195) I getting her a tutu set made ($100) and the skating rink party is ($300) so I need to save money on these damn decorations. Any suggestions?

I have the IUD and I have not had any problems. Why don't you want the IUD? I can understand the birth control pills though.

Smart waiting until she remembers. Have you looked online? Also Walmart. Do you have a printer you can print out some pictures and get stickers then go with solid colored decorations, plates, bags etc. Dollar store?

I went to the dollar store but I'm doing black and hot pink and they didnt have those colors. I did photoshop her picture into a minnie mouse photo that Im going to use to make the candy bags. I didnt check walmat, silly me, they are cheaper than most other places.
Oh yeah she is too young to even know its her bday so I wasnt going to throw her a party for her first few years just to feed some grown ass adults who bring their kids with no gifts. lol
She is having a 5th, 10th, 13th and then 16th. She on her own after that.

Yea check Walmant, do you have a Dollar Tree in your area?
What other decorations do you need? Are they allowing you to decorate much at the skating rink? I remember these parties as a child, and the biggest things the kids care about are the little goodie bags. You could get some cheap things/toys, candy, etc. Have you already reserved the rink? It may be cheaper to do some arts & crafts/games at home...if you're trying to save money. BTW that cake is adorable!
I plan on doing a party every year.
1 years old- We had a party at the house
2 years old- Chick Fila
3 years old - party at her daycare
4 years old- bowling party
5 years old- Chuck E cheese
6 years old- Still in the works but so far it's either mini golf or go kart riding and we are also going on a ski trip the weekend after her birthday party.
I'm totally making up for parties I didn't have growing up though plus I love to plan and deocrate and shyt...but not for a long time. That's why I like having it at a venue because if you have it at your house nikkas don't be trying to leave. With that said I'm hoping to buy a house in the next two years so a lot of the in between ages will probably be a gathering at the house and venue parties at age milestones.

I don't have a big family so there is no need for a party every year, she gets a cake with ice cream at the crib. She just really started to understand what its my bday means and how its her day only. My family just comes, a few might bring gifts but they come to eat my food and lay around my house. This year I invited all the kids at her school and most of them rsvp'd and then my family members with kids her age. I'm not doing this every year, I dont want to be bothered lol. Its cool cause your into the decorating and stuff. I dont like other people kids. lmaoI plan on doing a party every year.

I reserved two party rooms at the skating rink and I can decorate those rooms only. I getting the goodie bag stuff from dollar tree. Im going to get them coloring books, little party favors, crayons and then some candy. Yeah I paid for the rink already and I dont want them bad ass kids in my house, parents trying to slip out during the party and run off. Nah. I'm okay with spending on the big stuff, its her first party but the decorations are expensive. Look at this http://www.partycity.com/product/minnie+mouse+party+supplies+ultimate+party+kit.do
