Simply Stated: Entertaining on a Budget

categories: Simply Stated

Entertaining on a BudgetAs most of you probably know, hosting a party – no matter how small or large – can easily get a bit pricey, but there are actually a lot of things you can do to keep the credit card bill from getting out of control without skimping on style, thank goodness!

For example, in the image above we used apple green gift wrap to create the table topper, paper napkins folded into pretty 4-pt squares for a dressier look, and faux orchid blooms pulled from reasonably priced stems purchased at Target. (Click here for more info on this Love in Paradise party theme.)

    I have 3 or 4 parties to plan this summer and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Any tips on getting started?
