From the amazing food, the finest party playlist and fantastic decor, some people are just born with a gift for entertaining others. Of course, the lavishness of a party is often a direct reflection, of a person's budget. If your budget cannot support such an extravagant event, the good news is: you don't need a big bank account, to throw a party that will forever stain the memories of your guests. A few simple invitations, decorations, some low cost food and drink and Smartphone apps, can make all the difference.

Budget Decorations.
Everyone loves buying fancy decorations, but some of the things around your home could be exactly what you need for the party, and it won't cost any money. Mix and match a few of your bowls, plates, and cups, it's cheap, but it will give a beautiful effect. Use cheap candles, fresh flowers or a vase packed with brightly colored fruits, to create the mood you want for your party.
.
Food and Drink.
There's no need to serve high-priced cuts of meat to your guests. Try serving up the same foods, in appetizer-sizes – its budget friendly and equally impressive to your guests. Soups, meat skewers, sandwiches and other miniature sized foods can all fill your guests at a lower cost without having to sacrifice flavor. On the other hand; you can choose to have a potluck party and let the guests bring a dish which will be shared at the venue. You of course, provide the most important dish. As far as drinks are concerned, don't bust your budget at the liquor store, just select one or two types of alcohol and remember to include non alcoholic beverages, for the non-drinkers.
