Do you want to organize a party but can't because you don't have enough money to entertain and feed your guests? Here's how to throw a wonderful party for a small fee!
Steps
Step 1. Decide on the theme of your party
Is it a birthday of a Christmas party, or do you just want to celebrate for no reason? Whatever the circumstance, it is advisable to decide on a theme that is original and interesting. However, note that this step is optional.
Step 2. Decide where to party
If you have a very limited budget, your home is ideal. If, on the other hand, your budget is more generous, organize the party in a restaurant or other entertainment venue. However, a house party is cheaper!
Step 3. Draw up the guest list
Given the limited budget, it is best not to invite more than 15 people. Remember that you will have to entertain and offer food and drinks to everyone! Don't invite overbearing people who expect special treatment just because they're guests.
Step 4. Go for a very simple menu
It is advisable to ask some close friends to bring something simple to eat or drink; for example, homemade cookies, chips, etc. This way you will save a lot.
Step 5. Prepare the music
You can also prepare video games or other entertainment sources. There is no need to buy new CDs, you can prepare playlists perfect for the occasion with your iPod, or ask a friend who is passionate about music to bring a selection of CDs. But make sure you have different types of music that everyone can enjoy.
Step 6. Send the invitations
To save money, deliver them personally, but discreetly. Don't be seen by people you don't want to invite.
Step 7. Buy and create decorations
Streamers and posters are very simple to create. Look for stores that sell party items at low prices, such as balloons, saucers and plastic cups, etc.
Step 8. It's time to celebrate
Hopefully, your guests won't notice that the party cost very little. Relax and enjoy!
Advice
- When selecting music be sure to choose slow pieces as well. Guests will get tired of the overly rhythmic songs and will want to relax every now and then. In addition, the slow songs are perfect for a romantic atmosphere and to see how the party is going.
- When choosing the drinks to offer, remember that everyone has different tastes, so make sure you also have water.
- For themed parties, make sure the decorations are suitable.
Warnings
- Set aside all fragile and valuable items that could break.
- Don't throw a party that's too bare to save money. Save as much money as possible and be creative!
