Budget

Seeing as this was a family and friend birthday party the family members were asked to all contribute in the bringing of a plate of food. The signs naming the different areas were printed designed and printed personally, owl for 'pin the beak on Hoot' was part of Party Printables Kit, paper for oragami was from own paper stash as was paper for hand made windmills. The main cost was the 'Hoot' cookies which were discovered on-line. They were $6 each which was justifiable with the fact they that they were just so adorable and were to be the replacement of a traditional lollybag. Therefore depending on how many children you invite as to how expensive this becomes. We had twenty children therefore the cost was $120.
