Planning a party can be overwhelming – from shopping to decorating to preparing food, hosting a bash can be quite an undertaking. But perhaps the most stressful component to playing hostess may be the expenses that quickly add up.
While those on a tight budget may think they will be unable to plan a fantastic celebration, there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing festiveness or fun.
There is no need to spend money on disposable party supplies that you can only use once. Instead, utilize items that you already own, such as champagne flutes, tumblers and mugs. Don't worry about mismatched pieces – the random assortment will be fun and eclectic!
Cocktails are imperative, but liquor can be pricey. Instead of providing a full bar, offer a signature drink for the night. Sangria is delicious and not too expensive to make, as it is comprised of juice and soda as well as alcohol. Mix a batch before the party and have non-alcoholic drinks on hand as well.
With the money you save, you can treat your guests to some fantastic party favors. Guests will be thrilled to receive personalized lollipops or delicious candy bars, and you'll enjoy entertaining your friends without breaking the bank.
