    I understand how difficult it is- I am busy organising a 40th also.

    One option is to contact someone who does caricatures- let them come to your party in exchange for individuals paying him/her directly. Folk always like to see what others think they look like!

    There is a great company
    http://www.mummymartinstoybox.co.uk/ which has party bag fillers for pennies. You can use them for a multitude of reasons other than party bag fillers. (Party games prizes, etc)

    If you want balloons, Costco do a good deal on balloons with helium.

    A pyjama party can be great fun too with everyone chipping in with a dish.

    I do hope you enjoy your birthday.
