Who doesn’t love a good party? Not only do they provide a fun time, but they bring people together. The factor that turns some people off about planning a party is the extra cost of entertaining, whether it be the decorations, theme aspects, or the basics like chairs and tables. Check out these ways to plan a fun, exciting party without breaking the bank, from The Spruce.com.

5 Party Decorating Ideas on a Budget

Some ideas to get your party planning process going include:

1) Feature the Food

A simple arrangement of food on a table has the power to easily provide all the décor you need. If you’re on a tight budget, you can easily craft your own dishes and present the food in a way that entertains. Presentation is everything when setting up a table for food, so you can always make it look presentable no matter the price of the materials.

2) Take It Outside

 

 

Nature can provide you with the perfect scenery and backdrop for a party. Keeping things simple with the natural beauty of the outdoors is a great way to keep decorating minimal while making your party pop. Offering places to sit, eat, and conversate is a must-have, but all the other outdoor party additions are up to you.

3) Incorporate Balloons

Pump up your party with balloons! Balloons are a relatively inexpensive option for you to enhance the fun at your party. If you’re going for a youthful look, you can choose primary or bright colors. For more mature partygoers, go with only one or two colors. You can get creative with balloons and hang them from string or keep them classic and tie them down to a couple of tables.

4) Create a Pleasant Ambiance with Candles

To create an intimate and fun party vibe, utilizing candles is a great option. Candles can distract from the lack of decorations and create a comforting and simple environment. Scattering candles throughout your tables will not only provide decoration, but it creates more lighting for your guests.

5) Add More Color

Colors can bring out the best in your party. With the numerous amounts of dollar store paper, you can decorate your party to fit your theme at a low cost. With the addition of colors, you can add to the overall theme of the party, or just brighten up the vibe to make your guests more comfortable.

Planning a fun and exciting party doesn’t have to burn a hole in your pocket. Simple, low-cost, additions like balloons, candles, or the presentation of food can go a long way – especially if you’re on a tight budget.
