Green & Frugal Parties

Often times being green and frugal go hand in hand. For Princessa's birthday party we used our regular plates, cups, silverware ect. instead of using throw away stuff. Really, if you have a dishwasher it is not that much more work. So, for your child's birthday why don't you give them a gift that will last forever and take care of the planet they have to live on for the rest of their lives? In my effort to live greener this year I have also decided I won't buy napkins/paper towels but use cloth napkins instead.
