Guess what? Winter is here and Christmas week is about to start! The holidays, they’ve been here for almost a year because of the Covid-19 situation. The last few months have been some of the longest couples of months. A special celebration with friends and family, however, is still waiting for you. Maybe it’s been a long time that you saw your friends, maybe your kids are pestering for a treat-filled Santa-party! All that can overwhelm you, but don’t worry as we have got your back. So, here’s a guide that will help you save some bucks and still enjoy your Christmas 2020.
1.Finding the right location for the party
One is supposed to book a hall or restaurant for Christmas night. But if you are on a tight budget, isn’t it better to organize the party at your home? It will save you a lot of money while allowing everyone to enjoy the party more comfortably at home.
If you do not have enough space, then you’re going to have to do some DIY interior designing. Try re-shuffling your furniture around. The last and most important thing, don’t forget to invite your neighbors so that they won’t be a nuisance to the ongoing party.
2.Selecting the food and beverages
Who wants to settle for a regular meal on Christmas day! So instead of having that you can try getting some fast food, snacks or cook some healthy food items yourself. If you are going with homemade food, present it with some personalized customizations like changing the regular shapes into something funny or adding some extra toppings as these will make the food appear amazingly good.
For drinks, try getting some bottles of Mead Beers. Made from pure honey, these can be great alternatives to regular beer, as they are filled with the goodness of health and taste just so well. Wondering where to buy mead? You can check mead wines online from Hidden Legend Winery as they have some amazing collections at discounted rates.
3.Saving Money
You can save a lot of money and time by just changing a few things in your plan. For example, using disposable plates so that you don’t need to wash dishes after the party’s over. This will also prevent you from the fear of breaking any of your expensive cutlery. For invites, instead of writing a letter, make a formal phone call to make these invites personal and inexpensive at the same time.
The thing will save your courier bills and can be counted as a gesture of love too, or you can also begin some creative invite cards as there are tons of mobile apps available. You can save a lot of money if you use some decoration items like colorful light, colorful tapes instead of having some fancy decors.
4.Arranging Items
For your home party, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Seek help from your friends in borrowing items, as it will help you save some bucks too. You can ask their help in arranging the things and if somehow you did all that alone, at least ask them to help you with the cleanup afterward.
If you are planning to have some baked food at the party, instead of getting branded ingredients, use generic ingredients as they also have the same quality and are cheaper too.
5.Guest Lists
Instead of inviting everyone you know, it’s a better idea to keep it private by only inviting your closest friends and family, especially if the party is at your home. After all, no one wants to clean the puke of random strangers, especially on a celebration day. These will help you in managing your bills and invest less time cleaning up, and if you are on a tight budget, have a co-host for the party and split the bill.
