Last weekend was one for the books. It marked the last time I held a combined birthday party for the boys, and the first time I’ve spent less than $50 on birthday party decorations.
SAY WHAT?? It’s true! Thanks to Walmart Canada, I found everything I needed in one place, at fabulous prices. In fact, I *may* have thrown my own little party in Aisle 3 as I filled my cart with party favours and decorations in our theme du jour, Disney Pixar Cars. Ka-Chow!
From party hats to paper plates, temporary tattoos to cake candles, there is absolutely everything you’ll need to put on the perfect themed party. In addition to the goodies shown on the right, I scooped up:
– Door posters for my backyard sliding doors
– A balloon pump for the balloons
– Streamers and a “Happy Birthday” banner
– A Lightning McQueen pinata
– Cars-themed loot bags
I also purchased additional yellow balloons to strew throughout my main floor, leading up to the backyard where the party was set to take place. We were blessed with beautiful weather, surrounded by friends and family, and thanks to our resident grill master (my husband), were treated to delicious party food.
(Side note: I’ve decided that every party should include hamburgers and barbecued chicken. There’s just something so darn soul-satisfying about noshing on BBQ on a summery night in May.)
The boys’ party included a mix of parents and kiddos, so we had the best of both worlds – adult conversation (and beer) peppered with squeals of delight, my gorgeous niece and my girlfriend’s sweet lil’ shih poo.
Respecting the privacy of our guests, here are the two birthday boys, just after the party began.
Have a children’s party to plan? Ditch the expensive party shops and find everything you need at Walmart Canada.
those are fun decorations – cars is a great theme!
Thanks Nicky!
I agree with you completely, I love going to Walmart for the simple fact that it is a One Stop Shop for just about everything!
The party decorations are so fun!
Glad you see it my way! Thanks Anne!
Walmart is my go to store for everything especially birthday parties!
Aren’t they fabulous?? Makes my life so much easier!
Yep – gotta love Walmart !! The other places I check are dollar stores (especially for the party favours – although I have found a lot of other party supplies there too).
Looks like the boys were just raring to get back to the party !!
We had a wonderful time :) Thanks Flora!
Very cute! My son would love to do a cars birthday! His is coming up.
You simply must stop by Walmart Renee!
Walmart is our one stop shopping place for many things, including planning for parties!! Cute pic of the boys!
Thanks Judy! I’ve got another party coming up – you can bet I’ll be stopping by Walmart!
It’s my little guys’ birthday at the end of the month. They would love a CARS’ party so I am definitely going to check Walmart out for supplies!
Please do Heidi! And have fun!
There are some cute theme ideas at Walmart.
There are many! Love all the Disney themes.
I went to walmart for my sons transformers birthday in may. Found everything I needed!
So awesome! Love hearing that!
Thankfully I have a WalMart a block away from me. I can count on WalMart to have what I need!
Super close and super convenient for you!
What a cute birthday party theme! Less than $50 is a steal for a birthday party for young ones. Happy birthday to your boys!!
Thank you Victoria!
I miss doing my girls parties and the loot bags.
I have many more years to go! LOL
your boys are such cute little peanuts!
Thank you Amy!
Your kids look like they had fun.
They did!
Walmart is my favourite for parties! Great tips!
Thanks Erika!
Walmart is a great place to shop for reasonable priced party favours! I don’t understand why so many parents feel the need to spend a fortune on kids parties when most kids are quite happy just to have their friends over for a good time!
Couldn’t have said it better!
I agree! We just had a great little pirate birthday party for our four year old and the party supplies were cheaper than one of our dollar stores!
That’s amazing!!
Yes WM is the best one stop shop for most things. Thanks for the tips.
Any time!
Oh i sure agreed with you on this one,i hate shopping around Walmart can suppy me with all my party needs in one location
