Most people feel they are already financially tapped after Christmas. But, celebrating the New Year doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
There are lots of ways to welcome the beginning of the year without overspending.
Throw a party at home
Rather than some fancy dinner or a bar-hosted party, host a party at home:
- Invite through email
- retain your holiday decorations
- make a menu that’s easy on the budget
- have your friends pitch in and have a potluck dinner
- pick out your favourite games or ask your guests for suggestions
- try to make some of the food or shop the holiday sales for snacks
- don’t overdo it on the alcohol.
Dress up and be the guest
You can also be the guest and go to a friend’s party. You don’t even have to be in a club to wear your dancing shoes. Dress up like you would go out to a fancy evening and paint the town red.
You didn’t have to pay for anything except maybe a host gift.
Co-host a party or attend a community event
Join forces and spread out the cost of hosting a party among friends by co-hosting. This should keep costs lower and within budget.
Figure out what fun activities you’ll do either at your place or someone else’s, like watch movies, karaoke, or just simply catch up.
If you’re celebrating with the family and kids, you can also check the community calendar as most communities host free New Year’s Eve event. There may be an earlier event for families and then an evening event more focused on adults.
