    Perfect Host: How To Save Money On Your Next House Party

    When you’re planning a party or event at your house, it can feel stressful to strike that perfect balance. How can you be the perfect host but still maintain a reasonable budget? Simple. Follow some basic planning rules. Here are just a few ideas to help you get started.

    Determine Your Budget

    The first thing you should do when planning any event is to determine a budget that’s in your comfort zone. Consider how many guests you plan to invite, and how much money you are willing to spend. The fun can quickly drain out of party planning when you feel overwhelmed by the cost. Calculate costs with party budget planning.

    Plan The Drink Menu First

    It’s a good idea to start with your drinks plan, because often that’s where you will spend the most money if you aren’t careful. You can save money here by planning to offer limited alcoholic options. Of course, you don’t have to present them as limited. Consider a small selection of wine and beer, or just one special party cocktail. Bottles of water and fruit juices can fill out your drinks table and even bring a pop of color to the table.

    Next, Plan The Food You’ll Serve

    Before you settle on a menu, consider the time of year in which you are throwing your event. Certain foods, especially fruits and vegetables, are in season and less expensive during particular months. Serve a variety of appetizers that take advantage of these less-expensive ingredients. Don’t spend a lot of money and time on baking specialty items like breads and rolls. You’ll save on your budget if you use some help here and take advantage of professionals like those at Klosterman Baking Company to do the work for you. Plus, they’ll be able to help you with quantities so nothing goes to waste.

    Set The Atmosphere

    When throwing a party, it can be easy to go big with a theme. But if you’re on a strict budget, decorations can really eat into your overhead. Instead of spending cash on decor that you may never use again, think about investing in some items that will set the atmosphere in your home. Lighting can be adjusted with a simple change of light bulbs or the addition of candles. Extra throw pillows and simple centerpieces can create a whole new look for your space. The good news: you can use these items over and over again.

     

    Entertaining on a budget can be achieved no matter what your party style. Just keep these simple steps in mind and you’ll be the perfect host at your next party without breaking the bank.
