1. New Year's Eve Party Ideas on a BUDGET
To try budget party ideas, you need a budget. It is important that you consider the most important aspects of a party, which are the location, food, drinks, decor and even entertainment. Determine how much money you can put into the party, then take that amount and divide it among the mentioned categories. Don’t forget to have a little extra money on the side for any last-minute or unexpected expenses.
2. Keep It Close to (or More so) Home
Hosting a party at your house is one of the biggest ways to save money. With a little rearranging, you can create enough space for your guests to move around and mingle throughout the night. You should still make sure that you have enough seating options available in case people need to rest. If you don’t, you can buy a few extra chairs while still saving by using Home & Garden discount codes.
Hosting at home makes things simpler for yourself and your guests. When it comes to sending out invites, you could simply text them, email them or design digital invitations to send. If you would like to add more of a personal touch to the invitations, use Stationery discount codes to save on items such as paper, glitter, pens, envelopes, ribbons and anything else you would need for handmade invitations.
Another bonus when it comes to hosting the party at your house is that you can keep those Christmas decorations up! “A little DIY may be needed to make them suit the New Year’s vibes but decorations such as tinsel can be used for a New Year’s Eve party,” says Marylyn Ncube.
3. New Year’s Eve Pizza Party
It has been a long year and if the idea of planning and hosting a proper party is already tiring, keep it simple with a pizza party for yourself and those closest to you. With our Takeaway & Delivery discount codes, you can score deals from your favourite pizza shops or save on delivery rates when ordering online. If you want to have an adults-only get-together, you can add alcohol into the mix. Your guests can each bring a drink or you can pool money to buy drinks for everyone and use Alcohol discount codes to cut down costs.
4. Have a New Year's Barbeque
For a laid-back and family-friendly way to ring in the new year, wrap up for extra warmth and have a barbeque in the back garden. Write out a grocery list and add the barbeque essentials such as meat, buns and rolls, soft drinks, vegetables and some sweet treats for dessert. Even if your grocery list is on the longer side, you can save with Supermarket discount codes. Similar to a barbeque, you can opt for a picnic at home or at your local park. Prepare your barbequed meat beforehand and pack it up along with other food and snacks that you need for a picnic.
5. Paint The House Red
To add to hosting a New Year’s Eve party at home, you can ask your guests to wear their very best. The Guardian points out that staying in for New Year’s Eve, especially among the younger crowd, has become more popular. Many people prefer staying in and streaming live music events or festivals as opposed to spending money on tickets and going out. However, staying in on the last day of the year does not mean you can’t dress up.
