Partying on a budget & a party planning checklist

Heidi of Home by Heidi here. I am a big believer that you can have AMAZING,Beautiful parties without breaking the Bank! If you pick your theme early enough, you can plan ahead and watch for sales. And REALLY decide what is MOST important! Here is a list of my Favorite tips and tricks for planning parties:

{Party Planning on a Budget}
Choose a color scheme far in advance
Decide on a budget ( stick to it)
Decide what you want to splurge on vs. save ( what will be the BIGGEST impact)
Watch for sales & seasonal items ( My Favorite place… Target Dollar spot)
Pick a theme that mom and child can be excited about (get YOUR creative juices going)

{Shop Around The House}
Use Bedsheets and old fabric for tablecloths and backdrops
Use home décor on the party table to add a different element of
Borrow from family and friends

{Keep Things Simple}
Keep costs down with simple food
Don’t over think things
Enjoy the moment; don’t take on more than you can chew
Have a schedule for party events
Ask for Help from Friends and Family
(we all want to be SUPER Mom but it can lead to disappointment )

{All About The Memories}
It is wonderful to have a pretty table, but Don’t forget to plan fun activities
Focus on making memories
Simple things can make a big impact
Spend your money on the party, and have friends and family give the gifts to open.

{Do It Yourself}
Plan Ahead, last minute DIY are stressful
Decide what is worth your time and money when doing a DIY. Remember your time has a price point
How big of an impact will it make?

Here is a GREAT Party Planning Checklist that I created. I hope that it helps you along the journey.

HAPPY PARTY PLANNING!!
