Good morning everyone
Today is our oldest daughter's 16birthday and it's Easter day.
And we are broke no money to celebrate her sweet16 or Easter. We did buy her a birthday gift 2 months in advance( thank god) I just wanted her day to be special and all decked out with a photoshoot, family,friends. So I'm just sadden by this. Her dad just started a new job and I start mine next week so money is tight for us rt now. Any advice to help celebrate her day without a cake or anything would greatly be appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Oh no. Im so sorry. Wish there was something i could do to help. Maybe play some games, or have a family movie marathon of her favorite movies.

I am sorry things aren't so good right now but I am sure at 16 she understands what is going on. Just spending the day together, watching a movie or cooking a meal. Looking back through childhood pictures and talking and sharing memories would be a fun way to spend the day. Just make her feel special on her special day.

You could all have a walk on the park if there is one nearby and buy cotton candy or something and or play ball.

she is probably aware of the family's situation and understands.

I'm sorry that you feel this way.
Find a way to make a special memory for her and all of you on this day.
Enjoy a meal outside if the weather permits and reminisce, look back over some of her baby pictures.
I hope that she has a great birthday.
