Ok, who's heard of a No-Gift Birthday Party? Its basically saving your guests the time of shopping for a present your child wont use for more than a few months and adding that money to a college savings fund! If this sounds interesting to you, check out more here http://gradsave.com/savingsexpert/birthday.html. As an added bonus, GradSave will give you $100 as soon as you hit $1000 in gifts! That's like a free text book!
Think about this, how many kids birthday parties do you attend a year? Lets go with an average of 10(friends, family, coworkers kids, etc). You spend around $20 each on a gift. Not only that, but you have to take the time to do the shopping and wrapping of the gift(which ends up being around an extra $5 for paper/gift bags) just to give the kid something they will play with a few times and then ditch in the toybox! Try suggesting a No-Gift party to the host, chances are they never even thought of it!!
FUN FACT: If you save $25 a MONTH when your child is a toddler, you could save up to $10,000 by the time they are college bound!? WOW!
