I wasn't planning on making him a party but since he's my first child I can put some money aside and make him something with family and relatives! Keep in mind that the holidays are coming up and property taxes are all in 1 montth!
Any advise on something easy to cook and not so spendy (Keep in mind we are Mexican)

Keep it simple. Depending on the type of party you plan go for finger foods, like sandwiches or something more traditional that is easy and cheap to make. Make a cake and let him blow the candle out and give him a large serving to eat and cut the rest of the cake into small squares so that there is enough to go around. If it wouldn't be tacky, ask that friends and family to bring food too and have a "pot luck" party. Ask that they bring side dishes and other deserts and you fix a main dish or whatever would work. Your family will most likely understand your financial situation and probably wouldn't mind doing it this way. You could make the food theme something like "Bring your favorite dish" and then you can sample what everyone's family likes best and swap recipies too. That will give the adults something to do while the kids play and stuff. Good luck and rememeber to just have fun. :)

Check if there's a Little Caesars in your area. They have $5 ready made pizzas. You could also try making chicken salad sandwiches sliced in fours. Have Cheetos, Doritos, or Potato Chips, &Potatoe Salad on the side. You can also make fajitas!! ;) Yum! (I'm Mexican too!! ) What my friend did was get all her closest friends and family to each make a brisket and/or side dishes to contribute. It turned out really great!

I had a meat and cheese tray with each and every of the sandwich condiments and assorted style of rolls for sandwiches. I had dips, fruit, and a few finger ingredients. for sure I had a cake and a smash cake. I enjoyed the smash cake theory. it fairly is a smaller cake you have particular for the toddler to tear into jointly as all and sundry else eats from yet another cake. i could never heard of it till my mil further it alongside with the cake. initially we've been going to do a plenty nicer birthday, yet my brother-in-regulation become killed and we had to cancel my daughter's birthday for his funeral. Having to commute out of city for a week and pay for a lodge took our enormous birthday budget. nicely, that and no one in our relatives felt like celebrating something so we style of only had to declare we could have the birthday right now earlier it have been given too late. We did no longer opt for photographs of a 19 month previous appearing like it become her 1st birthday. in spite of you in undemanding terms do have relaxing with it. lifestyles is only too short to rigidity approximately some issues.

Just make something the crowd will want to eat. He'll be oblivious to it. Get him a cupcake of his own to eat. But there's nothing wrong w/ cake, ice cream, and beverages, and nothing else, for a birthday party!
