You have to make sure that your party is THE party, everyone’s talking about. Host it in grand style and at a great price with following tips from pros.
You want to have a big blowout, and make sure that the party is truly memorable, the type where everyone has fun and guests are still talking about the details for weeks to come. You aren’t sure whether you know the right little touches that will take the event from ordinary to extraordinary without spending a small fortune for it.
· Choose the right place, it’s a key consideration, count 4 to 5 square feet for each person. Cost and convenience are also factors. But always remember: easy doesn’t come cheap! To keep the price down you can ask the manager if you can bring in your own wine and spirits.
· Hire help, a planner can be an ideal solution if you’re too busy to deal with all the party details. You can find him by asking advices from friends or contact the International Special Events Society’s online directory at www.ises.com. Waiters, catering, entertainers… can also be hired.
· Know where to splurge… But never skimp on food, people remember what they ate a lot more than fireworks or a hot-air balloon.
· …and know where to save. The surest way to cut the expense of throwing a big bash is to cut the guest list. Nor is there any need to go high-end on printed party material and other froufrou. And in terms of flowers and other decorations, simply almost always wins out over elaborate.
· Party like it’s $ 19,99: ° go back to school
° limit the libations
° don’t do dinner
I chose this article, because I think it’s interesting knowing how to throw a party, which costs are avoiable and how you can evoid them. It also shows where you can find party planners and other interesting things that I didn’t know. Many people would love to throw a part, but just don’t know where to start and how to do it in the right way. So most of the time, they underestimate expenses or just look over certain details, but these details can make a big change in appreciation for the guests.

I think this article is amazing, it's indeed very important that when you give party, everything is fantastic, but not expensive. Of course that's not an easy combination, but with some useful hints, it can't be a problem.Often your expenses will depent on how large the party is, so before you start organising, you must consider that.
