You may not be able to afford the party you'd like to give, but you can still have some warm and fuzzy day with friends and family to welcome him home. I'm not sure why he'd come home at all if you are so poor, but maybe he's got no place else to go. Anyway, do a pot luck type thing and you won't even have to pony up for potato chips.

Make a banner Welcome Home, Call the family, All of them and ask them if they would be part of a Welcome home dinner, Tell them you would like them to help make a buffet, for his homecoming, and give them all something to bring, You can make a chicken dish, have someone make the salads, have someone else make stringbean casserole.Maybe someone can make sausage & peppers, and so on and so on. Have someone bake a cake or buy a cake. You make the coffee. I'm sure between family and maybe some friends it will work out/ But the most important thing to remember is he is coming home. God Bless Him and Thank Him from all of us.

Just make his favorite meal and have some close friends take him out. This way no money lost on your part and he will have the best time. Just him being home will make him really happy. Seeing you faces will be the best gift he could get. I know this sounds childish, but make some home made cards off the computer or a banner off the computer. Go to Wal-Mart and buy some of the really cheap balloons and blow those up. When he comes home, tell him I said thanks for fighting for our country!

With times as hard as they are in the world any loving son would not care that you could not afford to throw him a party. You could just have family members over and ask that people provide a dish. All of my family gatherings they ask that you bring something.

get a few close family members and friends together have a secret meeting and ask everyone to chip in, some can bring money to help, some can cook food. you can have a nice BBQ, get all his friends together and let them help too, if thats to much then wip up a nice home cook meal and everyone sit at the table and just be thankful he's home and alive.

I agree with previous answers and add, it's not the money that he cares about coming home to, it's the love, family, and country.
Thank him sincerely for his service to our country. Thank him for all of us. Hug him and tell him you love him. And tell him you're glad he's home safely. Then ask him if there's anything you can do for him. Mostly, listen and be there for him. He may want to talk about it, he may not, in either case, just listen and be there for him.

They don't have to be big. I'm sure he'd appreciate seeing your love and relief in his arrival.
If it's really important to have a BIG party, you could always get others to help out. Neighbors, relatives, friends and co-works would probably gladly chip in to the cause.
Congrats!

I agree with one of the other respondents. Make it a potluck, have everyone bring their specialty dish, and BOB. That's a surefire recipe for a great gathering, and a wonderful welcome home party!
----So thankful your son made it home ok!

Just invite all his friends and ask everyone to bring a dish they know he will love and probably missed having while he was away!
Party solved!

What happens????
I guess he just comes home to a nice supper and a loving family.
You may want to do more and can't, but more than likely he just wants to be around those he loves.
