My birthday is in about 5 weeks and I'm worried. I've been trying to plan out what I've wanted to do. I've been going online seeing what fun things I can do, but it cost a lot of money. My budget is about $250. And I want to spend it with my friends and family, but there isn't much space in my house for a party. What do I do?

$250 is not a lot if you want food. You could, weather permitting, have a picnic or barbecue in a park or local pool. If you do it in a park, you could play softball or bring your music and just dance.
The best parties have the smallest budgets!!!
Are you in a warm area? Is there a park nearby with a pavilion that you can reserve for free? If so you could have a picnic with hot dogs, buns, chips and pop. That would be very inexpensive. Then for fun you can play softball or if there is a net, volleyball.
If you are in a colder climate, for $250 you could see if your local Panera or other favorite restaurant will let you reserve their party room for free. Purchase a big dispenser of lemonade and cookies and have fun sitting around and talking and laughing. You could even bring games in.
You could do a volunteer day and all of you and your friends could (arrangements have to be made in advance) go to an animal shelter and walk dogs, play with the cats or bunnies and help out. Some will even let you use their meeting room afterward to have cake and ice cream which you could bring in with pop. You can buy lots of treats for $250. A volunteer day is good karma and can be a lot of fun!!
Wishing you lots of birthday blessings!! ENJOY!!!!
