How to plan a great party on a budget!!! These are some great tips on how to plan an event inexpensively. 1. You can make your centerpieces yourself!!!-Make a beautiful wild garden theme centerpiece by putting vibrant colored flowers in the middle of the tables. You can also go for a romantic theme by purchasing some cheap candles and adding rose petals to the table.
2. You can save on photography by placing disposable cameras on each table. This way you do not have to pay a photographer to take stiff pictures of the party, and your guests can participate in the big day! This is a great way to save money and get fun pictures at the same time! 3. Instead of having a band, go for a DJ. Often college students will DJ events for low prices and are eager to please for the experience and references.
You can also create mixes before the party and not have a DJ at all. 4. Instead of having a cake, have cupcakes and make them fun and pertain to you. |
