BUDGETING TIPS FOR PLANNING YOUR DREAM EVENT WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!
Planning an unforgettable event doesn’t have to break the bank! Here are some practical tips to help you create a memorable experience while keeping costs in check:
1️⃣ Set a Realistic Budget 📊: Start by listing essentials vs. extras. Prioritize key items like venue, food, and decor, then add in any extras if the budget allows!
2️⃣ Choose a Versatile Venue 🏠: Host the event at home, a friend’s place, or a community space! With the right decor, even simple spaces can be transformed beautifully – saving you on rental costs.
3️⃣ Focus on Quality over Quantity 🎉: Rather than overstretching with too many decor pieces, go for a few high-quality items that bring your theme to life. Balloons, flowers, and lighting are game-changers!
4️⃣ Get Creative with Food 🍲: Consider serving a buffet with your traditional favorites like African polony ( chikanda) , chicken 🍗 and rice 🍚 , mushrooms 🍄 with🍆 / eggs - delicious and budget-friendly! Alternatively, add a few family recipes to make it special without added expense. For example: chicken mayonnaise 😁/or chibwabwa( pumpkin leaves) mixed with mayonnaise (chibwamayo, lol jokes 🤣), chicken wings saved with rice , vegetables, 🥗 salad with fish fillets
5️⃣ DIY Where Possible 🧶: If you’re feeling crafty, try DIY decor for items like centerpieces or personalized place settings. This adds a unique touch and keeps costs down.
