How to Choose the Right Theme
The best theme is one your child genuinely loves, not whatever is trending. Ask them what they are excited about right now. Consider their age group, the venue, and your budget when narrowing down options. A well-executed simple theme beats a half-done elaborate one every time.

Budget-Friendly Theme Execution
You do not need to buy everything brand new. Dollar stores carry themed plates and decorations. Printable party packs are affordable and customisable. Focus your budget on one or two impactful elements rather than spreading thin across every detail.
