Top 5 Ways to Keep Your Party on Budget

March 6, 2009 by Briana Carter

Today’s Guest Post is written by Erin Scott, one of the talented women from Absolute Agenda,  who also happens to be family. Absolute Agenda is a group of four friends who have combined their talents, creativity, leadership to help you plan an event within your budget, absolutely effortlessly.

Top 5 Ways to Keep Your Party on Budget

1. Tap your friends’ talents

We usually think pot-luck here, but where else could you put your friends’ talents to use?

2. Use a non-trademarked theme

Themes help focus your purchases and other decisions. Trademarked themes can be very expensive.

3. Offer fewer options

People are more relaxed when there are fewer choices to make and offering fewer choices can save you money.

4. Think a single signature drink etc.

Have a single course party

Just drinks, just dessert…keep in mind the fewer options part here too!

5. Think food extenders/dollar stretchers

Pasta, Rice and Potatoes have been used to extend food and money for centuries!

When all else fails, narrow the guest list.

Absolute Agenda also shares tips on their Absolute Agenda Blog. They are new bloggers so give them some comment love. They just posted about a cute, sweet treat – so check it out! You can learn more about all the services offered by Absolute Agenda by visiting their website.

Mention “Bargain Briana” and you will receive a free 1 hour consultation.

I can highly recommend their service as I have personally known Erin all my life and have to been to parties and events that she has been a part of. Let me tell ya, they are fabulous and she knows how to stay within a budget! So add her talents plus her three friends and you will have something absolutely incredible.
