Party On A Budget

Has demonetization taken a toll on the way you party? Here are a few ways to have fun without feeling the cash crunch so you can party like a boss whether you plan one at home or go out with friends!  

If you are planning to throw one at home, here is how you can save some moolah.

1. Prioritize

When you plan a party, allocate most of the budget to the thing that is the most important to you. If alcohol seems the most important thing at the party, make sure you have sufficient funds allocated for it. Keeping lesser budget for things like food, decor, music, etc.

2. BYOB & Potluck

A ‘bring your own booze’ or a ‘potluck’ party is the best way to have some fun without spending a bomb. You can ask guests to bring one item each in food or even their own booze to the party. This will significantly help lower your budgets and add variety to the menu.

3. DIY Cocktail

Whip up some delicious cocktails at home. Know that fresh juices and squashes are any day cheaper than mixers and canned juices. By pre making cocktails you can also control the quantity of alcohol mixed leading to lesser wastage by overzealous guests.

4. Use Smartphone Apps

Smartphone apps can help right from planning the party to running errands, saving you both time and money.
