Party Planning on a Budget
Throwing an amazing party doesn't have to mean going broke! With a little creativity and thrifty planning, you can host a celebration to remember without spending a fortune. Whether it's a birthday bash, dinner party, or just a fun get-together with friends, these budget-friendly tips and tricks will help you pull off a fabulous event.
Fun On a Budget
Remember, the real purpose behind a party is for people to have fun and celebrate- and you don't need to go overboard on entertainment to achieve that! Some ways to have fun without breaking bank are:
Create a playlist with all the best dancefloor-filling hits
Rent your tents, linens, tables, and chairs from 973 Party Rentals
Set up a few simple yard games like cornhole or giant Jenga
Stock up on goofy party favors and toys from the dollar store
Host games and competitions for silly prizes
Set up a polaroid camera and give out fun photo booth props!
The most important things are the good company, tasty treats, and making lasting happy memories together. So relax and get creative - you've totally got this covered without spending a small fortune. At the end of the day, the best parties aren't measured by how much you spent, but how much fun you had!
Set the Scene for Cheap (but impressive) Decor
You don't need to hire an event decorator to create a stylish setting for your party. Get thrifty and tap into your DIY skills instead! Scour dollar stores, thrift shops, utilize a party rental company for your party rentals and even your own crafting stash for inexpensive materials to make cool decorations. Some cute and cost-effective decor ideas:
Flowers! If the season allows it, picking flowers from your garden or some wildflowers are a great way to save some money.
Streamers or fabric draped around the room or tent always adds a festive touch.
Display photos and memorabilia for a personal, sentimental vibe.
Use chalk or window markers to decorate glass surfaces.
Display flameless LED candles for warm ambient lighting.
The Food Situation Made Simple
While fancy catering is a major budget-buster, you can definitely still serve up delicious party foods without killing your food costs. Try tricks like:
Make a few signature dishes or cocktails from scratch in bulk.
For variety, set out pantry staples like chips, pretzels, nuts, and veggie trays.
Make it a potluck. Ask guests to each bring a shareable dish or snack (crowdsource that menu!).
Check for catering packages or party trays from grocery stores and warehouse clubs.
For drinks, stick to kid-friendly punches, lemonades, and affordably buy soda, beer & wine in bulk.
