Any birthday party ideas for 5 year old kids?

my little sister's birthday is next week and i wanna put a party for her becasue we havent celebrate it in 3 years

at first i thought putting it in chuckecheese would be good but its $16 per kid and there might be 28 kids coming so its going wayyyyyyyy over the budget. then i thought we should celebrate it in Build A Bear the cheapest price is 12 dollars per kid and my dad says no. if we dont find somewhere then we might need to get it in our home. im not sure many paretns would let their kids in peoples homes and we live in a apartment that cant fit 28 screaming kids. any ideas??

you could always go to chuck E. cheese and not pay for the party thing. It is a lot cheaper that way. You have to check with them and make sure it is okay, most will let you bring in your own cake and decorations.



bowling alleys are a cheap thing--with the bumpers up of course.



cut down the guest list, most parents might want to come with their kids. Only have 5 to 10 kids.



At your apartment you can still do something fun and cool. Check out playhouse Disney and nick jr. for cool kids birthday party ideas, invitations, printables, games, food, etc... (my 5 year old showed me this particular section of it) or simply Google it trust me you will come up with some awesome stuff.



Definitely cut that guest list.



Edit: McDonald's is a great idea!

If you want to throw the party at your house i suggest a princess theme. Maybe ollie koala's would be good. My little sister went there for her 7th b-day and it was a blast.



I think its a bit cheaper than Chuck.e cheeses but im not so sure.

If you can't think of anything then try your home. Get decorations and make a list of diffrent games to keep doing. Like musical chairs or freeze dance.



Whatever works out best.Any birthday party ideas for 5 year old kids?
Well maybe you could use a friends home if it is bigger. Or you could limit the number of kids.

but house parties that you plan yourself are super fun because you can be as creative as you want.

use some of her favorite things

and choose a theme

find creative games and food

and make your own decorations!

it is so fun!

lol hope i dont sound crazyAny birthday party ideas for 5 year old kids?
You could always try McDonalds or Burger King, maybe even Pizza Hut.

If not, you could go to a swimming pool which is really cheap per kid and I bet you could even get a discount if you asked them.



G'luck.
hmm well last summer i helped my friend out with her daughter's 6th birthday party. we actually put on a little tea party for her and about 15 of her friends. It was very fun and very enjoyable. also pretty affordable. the invitations told the girls to come in their finest dresses, mostly consisted of little girls in disney princess dresses, and to do there hair nicely. we had them play and be kids for a while and then we called them in to eat. we served finger sandwiches and pizza cut in small triangles on a platter. for dessert we put berries and whip cream in a serving bowl and came around and gave them a scoop. we pretty much acted like their servents and wore aprons. after, we opened presents and ate cake and painted their nails. all in all it was adorable and they had a blast. you could probably rent out a room somewhere maybe the fire house and get frilly princess decorations. All though 28 kids is a bit much and may be hard to maintain so many little ones. also if you have boys there they most likely will oppose to tea parties. hope that helps good luck!
