Creating Memorable Parties Without Spending a Fortune
Whether it’s a 5th birthday party, adults only cocktail event, a holiday celebration, or anything in between, we all want to throw the bash of the century. Unfortunately, that big bash tends to come with a pretty painful price tag. The good news is, we have compiled some easy tips on how to create the party everyone will be talking about while still sticking to your budget.
MAKE AN IMPACT
Decorations don’t have to be expensive to leave a big impression. Pick décor that can make a significant impact without high expenses, balloon arch anyone?? Another genius way to do this is by featuring your food – it allows it to double as both refreshments and décor! Adding a killer playlist is also a FREE way to totally elevate the atmosphere and amplify your theme.
You can also make sure you are making an impact by being intentional about the big purchases you do choose to make…. What do you really need? Take a mental and a physical inventory of what you have and what you genuinely do need to purchase. And this leads us to tip #2….
USE YOUR NETWORK
Odds are you’ve got your very own storage bin full of party décor you can’t bring yourself to part with despite the fact there is no foreseeable opportunity to reuse it… We all do. And wouldn’t you love more than anything to see it used again?! Take advantage of this and ask people if they have any spare party supplies and décor that you could use! There are tons of local Facebook groups popping up full of people looking to sell or even give away decorations they no longer have a use for. One man’s trash is another (wo)man’s treasure? We think so!
BE INTENTIONAL
When starting your planning process be thoughtful about how you want to go about planning and what you ultimately want to execute. We’ve got some great party stylist here at Sprinkles & Confetti that would love to help you plan to ensure you optimize your budget for any event you’re planning!
When planning parties with a particular theme, try to shop the theme all together as a collection to ensure items match for impact and reduce the expense of purchasing from multiple vendors.
Money saving tip: Skip the overly fancy plates & napkins, substitute solid party supplies in their place which are normally half the cost! Allowing you to spend on other items that will elevate the theme of the party like balloons, decor & banners.
At the end of the day, remember that the important part is not how much you spend, but the experience for you and your guests. Thinking hard about how to make an impact, leveraging your network of friends and being intentional with your planning are great ways to make sure you leave an impression without breaking the bank.
