Inexpensive New Year’s Eve party ideas
Have you exceeded your budget after the Christmas celebration on gifts, feasts and are worried about New Year celebration party? Well, do not fret as you can still have a gala party and celebrate New Year the low cost way. Hurry up and read further to know how.
Go digital with your invitations:
If you have decided to throw a New Year party to your friends, you needn’t shell out money to print out those expensive invitations cards. Instead go digital by sending them a mail or an SMS.
Make an exclusive guest list:
Plan accordingly and make an exclusive guest list of only the important people whom you want to celebrate the night with.
Appetizers over main course:
Serving appetizers will be cheaper than serving your guests with complete meals. Go in for tapas style party which can let you celebrate with fewer dishes, more jingle in your pocket and a merry time. This will also help you if you have a bad hand at cooking. A New Year potluck party is also not a bad idea.
Go less on champagne and beer:
One spends a lot on food and drinks in party. You can save money by serving the champagne for the midnight rather than serving it early. Instead of expensive alcoholic drinks you can serve cocktail and fruit punches. Other inexpensive items like jello shots and grapes soaked in vodka can be served too.
Home decoration:
With post Christmas, your home will already be decorated and you will probably need to decorate just a little for the New Year party. Get creative and plan for some DIY (do-it-yourself) home decor. Get a dozen of tea lights and candles to place them all over your home.
Inexpensive table arrangement:
Arrange your dining table with things which you already have around. Make a center piece by filling a crystal bowl with beads and floating candles. Place a bunch of colourful flowers midst the crockery along with tiny lights. Give the table napkins a sophisticated look by fastening them with satin ribbons and used ornamental rings. Do not forget to place few candles on the table.
Eco-friendly tableware:
Save yourself the scrubbing of soiled dishes and instead serve your guests with paper plates which are affordable. Follow the same with the rest of the cutlery. This will also help you a great deal in case of less tableware. Green tableware and other items are easily available in many stores.
DIY gifts:
Make your party a memorable one by creating DIY gifts for your guests. Make fortune cookies, cards, and souvenirs for your guests.
