I've thought to myself so many times how simple my birthday parties used to be...I don't think I ever had a party anywhere but my house growing up! I always had a blast..but with today's Pinterest inspired birthday extravaganzas, us mommy's are headed towards guilt if we don't think of something great, right? The pressure is on! But, who's to say you can't have an unbelievably FUN birthday party for your precious kiddo and NOT go into debt?? You can do it...and the best part is that you don't have to clean up the mess afterwards which makes it completely worth it in the end.
I've compiled a list of over 30 places to have birthday parties around the Keller/N. Fort Worth (and surrounding) area for UNDER $200! Some even as low as $30...yup...and some even for FREE! You read that right...so here ya go! ENJOY! Of course, if there are any others out there I may have list PLEASE let me know in the comments section!
