ideas to make an inexpensive, earth-friendly party
1| Decorate with eco-friendly printables, like those we shared above—old-fashioned farm party*, classic train party, and natural sweet bees party*. Print only as many as you need, then recycle or reuse. *See these links to learn how we recycled brown paper bags to make our party decorations.
2| Use some of our favorite, simple, recyclable paper party goods—craft board cookie boxes, paper straws, and paper party bags.


3| Celebrate simply on a farm. See this delightful, party of colorful, wholesome foods, recycled buckets to feed the farm animals, and honey jars and seed packet favors.
4| Or, simply visit a farm. Opt out of large birthday parties, and choose to take your birthday child on a special outing instead—like this birthday girl's day out to a farm. A visit to a child's favorite museum, a zoo, or the aquarium are all memorable choices too.
5| Plan a natural party with inspiration from Naturally Fun Parties for Kids; Creating Handmade, Earth-Friendly Celebrations for All Seasons and Occasions

6| Try our simple cut-out-and-make you make do™ birthday book kits. Children will love to help create their own birthday celebration. These paper party kits are more sustainable than plastic decorations or rubber balloons, and you can recycle them afterwards.
