extravagant parties while others believe simplicity is key. No matter your preference, knowing
the costs and preparations beforehand can help you tremendously when planning a party.
If you have a roomy house and a space that can fit all your guests then a birthday party at
home sounds like a good idea. Of course, there are many things you will need to do before
contacting your guests and inviting them over. First you’re gonna need serving-ware such as
plates, napkins, cups, utensils, etc. All of which can be found in discount stores for a low price.
Decorations like balloons and banners can also be found in a local discount store. Now that the
basics are out of the way, what is a party without food? To save money, it is better not to
provide a million food choices to your guests. Instead pick well-known and preferable food
options to serve. And don’t forget everyone’s favorite part- the cake. Whether it’s homemade or
fresh from a bakery, everyone loves cake! Last but not least, you will need entertainment.
Staring at each other is fun and all but having something to get everyone engaged is better. Not
every party needs to have a $500 certified party entertainer. You can buy board games, have a
relative throw on a Elmo costume, or have your artistically gifted friend face-paint for the night.
You can get as creative as you want while still saving money.
If you feel that your house won’t make the cut for the location of your birthday party then an
event venue might be a better option for you. Based on the venue and its packages, booking a
party place can be just as affordable as a home party. Whether you are paying a couple
hundreds or a couple thousands for a party venue all depends on you and your budget. The
benefits of booking a party place is that most of the hard work is done for you. Setup done.
Cleaning done. And for most party places, entertainment and food will be covered as well based
on the package. So that leaves you with the sole responsibility of sending the right address to all
of the guests. Just sit back relax and watch mostly everything be handled for you.
With all these tips in mind, hopefully the next time you plan a birthday party you will feel
well-prepared and will successfully throw a wonderful event filled with good memories for
everybody.
