How To Throw A New Year’s Party On A Budget
After surviving the holidays and maxing out your budget on gifts, the last thing you want to do is overspend again. I totally get it.
That’s why the ideas in this list are so affordable and versatile. It costs almost nothing to print cute tags for champagne bottles. And the bottle noisemakers are made with recycled materials.
Another way to throw an epic party on a budget is to make it look like you spent a lot. That means sticking to a theme.
For these New Year’s Eve Party Ideas, I kept everything to a gold and silver theme.
See? I already did the work for you! Just follow these ideas and your party will look fancy and professionally put together.
Finally, start collecting and saving things like bottles and stickers. Grab things when they go on sale and you can save even more money.
Just make sure you cover the basics – the food, the decor, and the party favors. Once you have all three, you’re ready to host your party!
Type of Food To Serve
Now that I mentioned food, what is the best kind of food to serve at a New Year’s Eve party?
Since it’s happening so late at night, think snacky and sweet food! You don’t have to cater (unless you want to) and everyone probably won’t be expecting a full meal at 11 pm.
I like to make snack boards, dessert boards and other countdown-related desserts.
You can serve just about any type of food at your party, especially if you make individual portions.
And don’t forget about the drinks! Every New Year’s Eve party needs some fun New Year’s Eve cocktails.
