Birthday Party Ideas to Remember that Won't Break the Budget!

Marisa  Karamanoogian
The town of Delanco and it's surrounding area in Burlington County New Jersey has a variety of venues at which you can host a child's birthday party. Right now...... parents are looking for the next reasonable yet fun birthday party idea. I have found quite a few that fit that bill and more! With the economy in such disarray a budget friendly party for your little one is what tops the list.

1. Pennington Park on Creek Road in Delanco, New Jersey.

Free....that's right I said free!! According to the Pennington Park website, You can have this party at the park and enjoy all it's amenities for nothing at all. The only money you will have to spend is on the food and drinks. It doesn't get any better than this. There are huge enclosures to protect the young and old from sun or rain. Tables are in abundance to seat a large or small party. Grills are also available. There is a playground with swings, slides and jungle gym that will keep those little ones playing for at least a couple of hours. The park it self hosts several walking/bike trails. Huge open fields for a wiffle ball game or tag. Bathrooms are clean and placed closely to the enclosures. It is great place to host that spring/summer or fall birthday party. Want to get creative? Try a scavenger hunt for those older children, have the children make there own kites and fly them or nature hike to find specific bugs or flowers. Kids love to explore and Pennington Park is a great safe place to do it at. What is the catch you might ask? There isn't one...they only ask that you bring your own trash bags and take your trash with you. It is really that easy. All you do is call (609) 265-5858 and reserve you day and time. The park is available from 8am to dusk. It is easy, fun and affordable!!

2.Vinny's Pizzaand Italian Restaurant 801I Burlington Avenue in Delanco, New Jersey.

Looking to have a child's birthday party and not destroy the house? Vinny's Pizza will work for you. There is plenty of seating available for a larger group of kids and parents. The owner and his family are some of the nicest people around. The food is great and the pizza is a town favorite!! The kids can get an up close view of how pizza is made and what it takes to spin that pizza above your head. The children will love it!! The prices are reasonable. The menu states that a large pizza costs $10.25 and when you are feeding those younger than six why not have them cut those slices in half and save a little dough? Pizza not a crowd favorite? There chicken fingers and french fries will have you kids begging for more. Soda and pitchers of boost are also available to quench that thirst. Bring in your own birthday cake and sing away. Want to make this party happen? Just call 856-461-5556.

3. Holiday Skatingand Fun Center 1775 Creek Road in Delanco, New Jersey.

Want to get the kids up and moving? Holiday Skating and Fun Center provides you and your child with a fun and safe environment to have a birthday party . The kids will love roller skating round and round with their friends. The laughter and fun is contagious, trust me. The popular and upbeat music will have young and old tapping their toes. A snack bar is available to quench that thirst or feed that growling stomach. A fun game room with video games, air hockey and pin ball machines will keep all age groups having a good time for quite a while. So what does a party like this cost? The Holiday Skating and Fun Center website stated that a two hour party for a minimum of 8 children will cost $10.95 a child. Each child will get a free skate rental, access to all the games, a slice of pizza or hot dog and a soda! All the parent is responsible to bring is the cake, knife and matches. Holiday provides you with a party room and party representative. Each room has tables, chairs, table cloths and paper products available. Want to get in at even a cheaper price per child? Come on a Wednesday evening.....it is only $8.95 a child!! (HINT: for a parent planning a party here...advise the parents that if they want to skate it is an additional $5.00, you can bring your own skates or if you are into inline skates they cost extra.) This party will have your kids begging to come back. Just call 856-461-3770 to make a reservation.

4. YMCA of Burlington County 59 Centerton Road Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

Celebrating your child's special day at the YMCA is a great idea.The YMCA website boasts that they have several different themes to choose from depending on your child's age. They have splash pool party for ages 6 and up, sports party for ages 5-10, craft party for ages 4-6, kidz fun party with tumbling and obstacle course for ages 3-4 and even a tea party for ages 5-9. The pool party is 2 hours long. You get one hour of splashing and laughter in the pool and one hour in the party room with a maximum of 20 children.. The other parties are 45 minutes in gym and 45 minutes in the party room singing and opening gifts with a maximum of 15 children. The children are going to have a blast regardless of the party theme. You have lots of options to choose from depending on your child and his or her style. This party is a little more expensive than the previous party ideas. If you are a member of the YMCA you have to pay $250.00. If you are not a member don't worry the cost is just a little bit more; it is $300.00 . This party is a little bit pricier but still is a fun time. You do need to provide your own food and/or cake and paper products. It is easy to set up a reservation. You just need to cal 609-543-6200 x350 and ask for Leslie Thompson, party coordinator. This party will definitely be one that they brag to their friends about!!

5. BounceU 1205 Warren Ave in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Want to get the kids up and jumping and rearing for a good time? BounceU is a fun, safe and clean atmosphere that will sure provide a fun birthday bash to remember.Searching for the party the that will leave those little ones wanting for more? Well I searched and found a place that provided a lot more than just an inflatable jumping room!! The website for BounceU has detailed information about three packages that you can choose from ranging in price. The most expensive package called the Spectac-U-Lar Birthday Party provides an hour and fifteen minutes of jumping fun and forty-five minutes in the party room. They provide you with a private room, two party pros to guide you through your party, invites, goody bags, special t-shirt for the birthday child, cake and 2 slices and drinks for up to 25 children. This package is ranges from $405.00 to $450.00 depending on the day you decide to choose. There second package is the Premier Private Birthday Party which provides the same amount of time in both the bounce room and party room. However, the food and cake are not included but you can add them for a fee. Which will increase your final price a bit. This package will run you $255.00-$295.00 for up to 25 children. The last package they offer is called the U Junior Birthday Party. This package is for up to 12 children and will cost you $215.00. You can only host this party Monday thru Thursday and must also purchase food for an additional fee. All three parties are lots of fun and depending on the time of day you decide to have the party you can skip the pizza and jump right to cake and save a little money. One tip for those interested in a BounceU party....bring socks!!! In the warm weather we are without socks more and more and they request that you wear them at all times. You can purchase extra if you forget though. A party at BounceU will sure have your little ones jumping up and down begging to come back for more! Call 856-429-6400 to make a reservation.
