The value-priced tea sets at Arsa Toys were recently listed in the book Bashes on a Budget - Kid’s Birthdays by Jenna Higgins. This highly-praised book outlines many ways for parents to save money when planning a party for their children, in addition to general tips on how to plan and organize a party. The book is only $12.99 and pays for itself after the first party you plan. Thanks to Amazon, you can use the Search Inside option to preview the book’s contents before you purchase it.
Higgins spent years as an event planner and translated this experience and her budget-conscience mom frame of mind to plan her own children’s parties. She mentions using the low-cost tea sets at Arsa toys as a simple way to plan a tea-party themed bash, and also as a party favor for more intimate gatherings. She suggests that party hosts rinse the tea cups and saucers after use, and each child can be sent home with a matching cup and saucer. There are a few paint-your-own sets available, but Higgins also suggests investing in a bottle of acrylic paint and writing the name or initial of each guest on the tea cup to make it extra-special.
Thanks to savvy moms like Higgins, the economic downturn doesn’t have to impact the simple childhood pleasures of things like a birthday party.
