Earn $100 Towards Your Child’s Next Birthday Party With GradSave #spon

October 13, 2012 by Dawn McAlexander

GradSave ~

There is nothing more fun than throwing your child a birthday party. All the planning and invitations and the food! You do all this work to see the awesome reward of the big smile on your little one’s face. But birthday parties do have a downfall – the cost. They can be really expensive. GradSave has an awesome idea for you. GradSave would like to help you with $100 of that birthday cost while you save for your child’s future education!

GradSave is a smart alternative to traditional presents. Simply create a College Savings Registry for your child at GradSave. Then include the link on your party invitations, social media accounts like Facebook, etc. After you get $1,000 in College Savings Gifts, GradSave will pay $100 to help you cover the cost of your child’s next birthday party!

I have thrown many parties for my daughter and I know that $100 sure would have helped. We have rented venues {skating rinks, swimming pools, etc.} that easily take up most of the $100. It would have definitely helped me to know about GradSave. With GradSave, you get a headstart on your child’s college savings and you don’t have to worry about getting duplicate presents or things that you little one does not need or want. Also, what better gift is there than education?

As a bonus, once you reach the $1,000 Birthday challenge, GradSave will set you up with a confidential private consultation with an independent Licensed Certified Financial Planner who will aid you in the financial planning process. This Financial Planner can also help you set up a tax free tuition savings plan which will save you even more money in the long run!

Fun fact: Saving just $25 per month when your child is a toddler can result in up to $10,000 in savings when they are ready for college! That amounts to just one coffee a week. GradSave can help you reach your college savings financial goals. Click HERE to get started!

    I am fortunate that it was gifted to my kids when they were born by their grandparents to be part of the Florida Pre-Paid College Plan. This too sounds like a great plan!

    This would be a great addition to all the savings bonds we have already accumulated. Thanks!

    This is awesome! Kids always end up getting toys they don’t need and this can really help their future! I’m looking into it for our son today!
