Having your little one’s birthday party in the middle of winter shouldn’t have to cramp your style. Venue: You just have to get on Gumtree or jump on Google and you will find a variety of party venues where you can host your party. If you are on a tight budget and prefer to host the party at home, why not clear out the furniture in your lounge / dining room or change your garage into your party spot.
