Throwing a New Year's Eve party does not have
to completely drain your budget, especially after you have spent big
on Christmas presents and all of the trappings of the holiday
season... You can save money on the decorations by using coupons for
Target and there are a
number of other money savings tips that you can make use of to ensure
a rocking New Year's Eve shindig, without going over your budget, so
read on to learn more!
1. Send E-vites
One of the most common ways that party throwers
end up blowing money that could be better spent elsewhere is by
doling out for fancy invitations that will be sent by snail mail.
However, most people do not even bother looking at them and if they
do, they are placed in the garbage moments after. Use Evite or
Paperless Post, so that you can get the word out about your party
quickly and efficiently.
2. Create Your Own Playlist
Music has never been more accessible and making
a party playlist has never been easier, yet people still spend large
amounts of money on special CDs for their New Year's Eve party. When
you are looking to set the party off right, why not trust your own
musical instincts? Just make sure that you have something louder than
your smartphone to play music off of. Use a bluetooth speaker if
necessary and you can head to Spotify or Pandora to make your list of
jams. Just try not to impress anybody with your amazing taste and
keep the selections current and fun.
3. Serve Dessert
News flash: people are not coming to your party
for a free dinner. They want to get the drink on, dance and have fun.
Providing some dessert is a great idea and if your party is starting
after 8 PM, it is reasonable to expect people to eat at home prior to
arrival. This allows you to save big bucks on purchasing and
preparing food. Focus your energy on procuring basics and keeping the
party going!
4. Keep Favors Simple
There is no law that requires you to hand out
party favors. If the budget's tight, you can skip this part, no
questions asked. If not, you can make your own paper plate shakers or
even your own do it yourself confetti poppers. You can head on, for
example, to The Centsible Life for more advice on how to put together amazing things without
spending much.
5. Plan Activities As A Group
To give your party a boost of energy (without
wrecking your budget), you can download 99 cent apps like Heads Up
that let you play games as a group. Or you can gather props from all
corners of your home, use a big sheet of paper to make a silly
backdrop, grab a disposable camera and boom – your very own New
Year's Eve photo booth!
