With money tight, there are ways you can organise a Christmas party without the financial hangover.
Party season is almost upon us. With money tight, here's our guide to how you can organise a Christmas party without the financial hangover afterwards.To get the party started consider ways of sharing the cost with your guests, says Cassie Fairy, author of the blog My Thrifty Life.
If you're planning on cooking from scratch for the party, "get people to go through their cupboards and do a scavenger hunt for ingredients," says Heidi Ondrak, known as Duchessofthrift on TikTok and Instagram. Stacey's bauble wreath can be made by untwisting the top of a wire coat hanger, bending the wire to form a circle and then threading baubles you have on to the wire. "It's minimum effort and maximum satisfaction because it looks really posh," says Stacey.
Cassie says fairy lights also create a party atmosphere and everyone usually has them at home. "Ask guests to lend you their set of lights for the party and fill the venue with twinkling lights," she says. She made a resolution at the start of 2022 to buy only pre-loved clothes, because they save money and are more ethical.Some charities will send you a mystery box of clothing in your size through the post, and you can request you want some sparkles in there, she says.
