Saving Money For University Teens

In a tough economy, savvy parents and grandparents may not be able to afford an expensive or fancy party for a teen. This can be frustrating when there are so many special birthday to celebrate, such as 13th, 15th, 16th, and 18th. How can we throw an epic and memorable party for teens without spending too much money?

With a bit of brainstorming, borrowing, simplifying, anyone can pull off a fun party on the cheap. Following are ten tips to help in party planning for a great (but inexpensive) bash.

1. Get a Free Party Location

Ask friends, a church or community resources for location ideas. What is a good central location that may be used for free? Many places offer free use of facilities. Does a friend have a house with a pool or a large room? Is there a mobile home complex with a nice community room? Also check on extras like dance floor availability, chairs, and tables.
