Are you planning to have a New Year’s Eve Party this year? It’s coming soon, you know. If you are planning to have a party, you need to get started on your party preparation ASAP. Party planning can get expensive though so you either need to be prepared to spend some money, or you need to plan to save money. Which is your choice? If you said save money, check out these 5 savings tips for your New Year’s Party:
- Make it a BYOB Party. Why not make it a BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) party? This is great because one bottle of alcohol or soda (or whatever) doesn’t cost too much, but it can save you a fortune if everyone is pitching in.
- Skip Dinner. If you are feeding 10+ people dinner, it can really add up quickly. Decide to have your party start at 8 or so after everyone has already eaten dinner and you will save yourself a lot of money in just the cost of food. You can still provide snack foods, but those won’t cost you as much.
- Make it a Pot Luck. Similar to having a BYOB party, why not hold a pot luck party so that everyone pitches in on food. No need for a fancy, sit down dinner, but instead you can have a mish mash of different, fun foods.
- Skip the decorations. No need to decorate for the party. People are at your party because of you, not because of what tableclothes you will be using. Just have fun!
Shop the Dollar Store. If you do want decor and/or party favors, hit up the dollar store for them. It’s super cheap and let’s face it, these party favors will only be good for one night anyway, no need to spend more than $1.
