Parties on A Budget

Planning the budget to host a fun party is pretty challenging. There are so many ideas on how to party on a budget. If you think outside of the box while working on a tight budget, this makes you an excellent host and smart party planner. 

That’s why our party specialists here at Party Yard West Palm have come up with ideas on how to celebrate a party of any occasion, while maximizing the entertainment value, without breaking the bank. 

Party on a Budget Food Ideas

The most costly expense for any type of party is the food and drinks. Every party planner knows that, and every budget-wise party host knows that. That’s why you can follow the party on a budget food ideas when serving food and drinks: 

• Serve rice or noodle-based foods like pasta. Set up a pasta station with many ingredients, condiments, and types of pasta. Not only will your guests enjoy making their own pasta, but it’s also an elegant yet cheaper option. 

• Have a food potluck. If you’re hosting a surprise party, engagement party, or a baby shower and many of the guests volunteered to bring food. Don’t shy away from that. Having a food potluck is a great way to save money, plus lesser stress in preparing the meals. 

• Prepare easy-to-cook foods. Prepare foods that are easy to cook and do not require too many ingredients like fried chicken wings, nachos, corndog, or perhaps opt for a charcuterie board (meat and cheese spread). Save time and money by preparing easy-to-cook foods. 

• Prepare foods in takeout boxes: A great social distancing and budget-friendly idea for foods are to serve them in takeout boxes. Serve your guests with pre-packed foods, utensils, and napkins. If you’re having a party for 50 on a budget, make sure to at least prepare 70 pre-packed foods. Not only will you save a lot of money, but you also don’t have to do the dishes as well. 

Elegant Party on a Budget: Social Distancing Theme

A low-budget birthday party idea for adults or even kids is an elegant social distancing theme. This is a relevant theme to follow in these trying times. Here are some social distancing ideas you can follow for this elegant party on a budget. 

• Have the party in your yard for fresh air, wide space, and allow social distancing among guests. 
• Make sure your guests wear masks, provide sanitation stations, and advise those who are not feeling well to attend the virtual party instead (another excellent party on a budget idea).
• A party with a limited number of guests is more intimate and has that elegant feel. You can take time to properly entertain each guest and of course save money. 
• Since you’re having a yard party, instead of doing a large table set up, ask your guests to bring their own picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and pillows instead (if that’s not too much to ask). 
• If you’re having a front-yard drive-by party, guests can park their car and use the trunk as an extension of the party space. 
• Make use of the party yard decorations of Party Yard West Palm that serves a double purpose: party decoration and social distancing markers.
