How To Pull Off an Event For Cheaper
By Billy | March 18, 2010
So you’ve got a big celebration coming up, and you want it to be special. Only thing is, since the economy took a turn for the worse, the pennies are kind of tight at the moment, and getting some professional help is never cheap. Without spending a lot of money even your event can be successful.
¢ Cook the food yourself. Now with an event you’ve got hundreds of things to organise, and if someone has been hired to take care of it- that’ll help. BUT, you gotta save the pennies, and catering firms are one of the most expensive elements of a party. Another chore to be taken care of by you, but itll be cheaper for you to do it this way. Now, this could prove a blessing in disguise, as you will have total control over what you will be having at the event. This way you can make that wheat free meal for the family member who cant eat wheat for example.
¢ Draft in favours. Now that you’ve decided to take this one, you need to call in some favours from friends. Those favours your owed? Time to call them in, because you need all the people to help out that you can get. All hands on deck for this one, and the more hands you have the quicker it gets done and you can move onto something else. You might have a friend who can DJ, or maybe even a beauty therapist who can do some pedicures or give out some samples of beauty products to guests?
¢ Use a cheaper brand when shopping. If you dont mention it many of your guest wont even notice that you’ve swapped for a cheaper brand. The stigma over buying a cheaper brand or supermarkets own should be gone at this stage, especially when we’re in a recession. This will give you some cash to spend on another part of the party-nice work.
¢ Use your house as the venue. Yes, its not as glamourous as what you had planned, but you can get away with it. The money you’ve saved can now be used for something more important -like you mortage. For bigger events you could even use a location out in the countryside for a touch if class, if you can get permission. For more information about event planning and spa days.
