Hosting A Great Party With Just The Right Helpful Tips!


Everyone wants to throw a great party! 
Here are some ways for you to consider to make your occasion more manageable and affordable while still hosting a great party.

If you need help being creative, check out some DIY websites that are on budget or under budget to help you stay on track.

Appetizers are a great way for people to mingle without having to sit down and eat. Appetizers are more of a pick on kind of food but be aware that food catered in this method may cost more due to the time and labor needed for preparation.

Standard buffet food can be more affordable with a DIY approach!

Portion control will add a trendy flare to your event without letting it slip that you are watching a budget.

Party entertainment is a huge part of your party but can be expensive. If a DJ or a Band is a must have, make sure to do some research on which is the best for your party and try to stay on budget.

Another way to have party entertainment without spending a lot of money on a DJ or a Band is by being your own DJ. You can rent speakers if the venue doesn’t have them or a CD or Ipod player. Talk to your guests about songs they would like to hear and they will be happy to hear the songs they requested.

Centerpieces tend to be where much emphasis is placed. Be creative! Try a DIY approach for the centerpieces. You’ll be proud of your creations!

For creative ideas, visit www.pinterest.com as a useful resource that offers tons of do-it-yourself event decoration ideas.

Professional photographers can be expensive, buy a few disposable cameras and hand them out to guests at the party. You will get to observe the party through your guests’ perspective, and then compile them into an album at any online printer such as www.cvs.com

Consider renting some of your party equipment instead of purchasing items you may never use again or have no place to store.

How To Hold A Wedding That Won't Break The Bank

You hope your wedding is one of the happiest days of your life but when the party is over how does your bank account look?  You have the venue, the decorations, the outfits, accessories and many vendor services that go into the wedding that really put that bank account out of balance. The easiest way to save money is to invite a smaller guest list if you pay by the head. Plus,  you won't want to pay for someone that you hardly know just because you thought you should invite them. Keep the list small with ground rules of who can or cannot have a plus one. If you have a close relative or a close friend who has a profession in, for example, the entertainment industry, consider asking them if that could be their wedding gift to you or ask them for a "family" rate.  Now comes the choice of one of the most important details of your wedding, THE FOOD!
