Christmas Entertaining on a Budget. Monday, 24 November 2008
Strapped for cash this holiday season, well here are a few tips on ways to throw a great party without breaking the budget!

* Send out online party invitations, myinvites.com.au has hundreds of designs to choose from and allows you to join and send up to 100 free party invitations. They also have some fantastic party planning tips available on their webpage.

* Buy in bulk, it is much cheaper to buy large quantities of food or party supplies if you shop around for wholesalers.

* Bring a plate, there is nothing wrong with asking guests to bring a plate of food or their signature dish to the party. This will not only save you money but will save you time.

* Handmake your own table decorations, gifts and wrapping paper where possible. Guests will appreciate the effort taken to hand make gifts and decorations.

* Make your party BYO alcohol, or to cut costs, purchase clean skin wines or a keg of beer instead of cans or bottles.

* Organise yourself and allow plenty of time for you to decide the best way to create a great Christmas party without stretching the credit cards.
