Tips For Keeping To The Birthday Budget 

Before you can start the party planning process, you need to figure out what your budget is. What does this mean? It means being realistic with yourself about what you can toss towards a birthday party. Trust us - you can throw an incredibly memorable and epic event without spending a ton of money.  

How To Set A Party Budget 

To avoid overspending, and focus on celebrating:

  • Determine your total budget: This figure should be based on your overall financial situation and how much you can afford without straining your finances.

  • Figure out expenses: List out all potential expenses, including, 

    • Venue rental

    • Invitations

    • Food, drinks and cake

    • Entertainment or activities

  • What matters the most to you? This should hopefully be a pretty easy question to answer! If your biggest priority is delicious food or an amazing DJ, you’ll want to allocate more money there and cut back on things that aren't as important. 

  • Track everything! As you start making purchases and bookings, keep a record of all expenses to help you stay on track and make adjustments if necessary. 

By mindfully planning and monitoring your budget, you can host a memorable party without creating financial stress. If you’re struggling with your budget, don’t hesitate to contact us, our on-site event planners are happy to answer any questions.

Additional Tips for Watching the Budget 

In this economy, things add up quickly! There are lots of sneaky ways to keep your eyes on the prize though, starting with the guest list. Write down a guest list, then check it a few times over a few days, and really ask yourself: When was the last time I saw this person? Would I be happy to treat them to a night out ‘just because’?  Am I inviting them because I have to or want to? Sure, it can be a little awkward, but it's important to keep the guest list manageable because over-inviting will escalate costs quickly.

Next, DIY! There are so many cool resources for making stunning decorations. Find things around the house that you already have, ask a neighbor to borrow, or use inexpensive materials from dollar stores or craft shops. Speaking of DIY, save on paper and postage by sending out digital invites via email, or keep it a bit more casual and send invites over social media platforms.

Tip: Budget-Friendly Venues In Toronto 

Toronto is a hot spot for trendy and impressive venues and spaces for parties! However, the majority of them do come with a hefty price tag. To throw the party of the year while holding onto your coins, consider the following:

  1. Rent A Peerspace Venue: Peerspace is an online platform that allows folks to book unique venues! Businesses, people, and event spaces can pop their spot on the site and you can book it directly. The venues are all super unique and there is a huge range of them, from chic city lofts, to small artsy studios, and big outdoor spaces complete with pools! As most are available to rent by the hour, you can watch the budget while having a pretty iconic space. 

  2. Get outdoors: If you or a loved one has access to a backyard, consider this as space for your party! Being outside offers a more relaxed atmosphere and you can rely on nature for decorations, supporting your budget. 

  3. Rent Community Rooms: Some apartments and residential buildings have community or party rooms that residents can book for private events. These spaces are often equipped with tables, chairs, and sometimes even kitchen facilities, making them a great budget option! 

Conclusion: Birthday Party Venues in the GTA

Think about it this way: going out for dinner these days in a nice spot typically runs $100 per head. For significantly less than that, you're not only feeding your guests delicious food, but you have all the details sorted and a stunning backdrop, Palais Noir, to do it in!
