Staying on Budget While Planning Holiday Events

Staying on budget while planning your holiday event is easy!

The first step to stay on budget is to plan ahead. Giving people plenty of time to R.S.V.P gives you a better chance of receiving an accurate guest list. Knowing how many people are attending is key to knowing how much food and beverages to be purchased.

The next step is to create a list of all the party essentials and basics. Price out everything on the list so price tags don’t become a shock, then you can filter through the items and decide what’s really needed.

Another great way to stay in budget would be to throw the party at home. If the event can be held at the comfort of your own home then that is a sure way to save some extra cash.

The last and most important is to compare prices and find the better deals. Alcohol is one of the top expenses when throwing an e vent. Going non-alcoholic would help you save, but if that’s not a possibility just limit the amount and brands of alcohols you use.
 
Just because you have a budget doesn't mean that you can't still have a fabulous party.  You just have to think outside of the box!
