High school is almost over for all 3rd grade high students. It is time to prepare a fun farewell party with our closest friend. However, making a farewell party with the whole classmates is quite expensive especially if we use decoration from teak wood for the outdoor party. Not only the decorations, the foods, beverages, and also the guest must be considered before making the party.
Moreover, in this pandemic situation, a big gathering will be a problem. The government still forbids us and suggests we avoid the crowd to minimize the covid-19 chain. So, it will be impossible to invite the whole classmates to the party.
Budgeting Plan
Before making a farewell party, it is better to make Budgeting Plan with your friends. The budgeting plan will help you what things are important or unimportant to buy to minimize the cost.
At least, the budget will cope with some of the below things:
- Foods and beverages. This includes soft drinks, cakes, snacks, and if possible BBQ ingredients.
- Accessories. Having a farewell party will be boring without party accessories. Before buying the accessories, it is better to decide whether the party will be held indoor or outdoor. Later, we can adjust the accessories that are applicable in indoor or outdoor parties. If teak wood is too expensive for the accessories, we can modify it with artificial or plastic ones.
- Party Invitations. Commonly, the farewell party needs an invitation to invite the guest. The party invitations also look like the entrée ticket for the invited one to join the party.
- The number of the guest. To make a low budget farewell party, the most important thing we should not forget is about the number of the guest. Make sure that we only invite our closest friend to the farewell party. Also, it will minimize the crowd.
Low Budget Ideas For Farewell Party You Must Try
Spending the last moment with friends will be good before each of them move to another city to continue their studies. Even though it is hard to prepare a special farewell party with a high cost, you still can follow the below tips for the low budget party:
- E-mail Invitation
Rather than making a hard print invitation for our guest friends, it is better to make an e-mail invitation to minimize the budget for printing. Moreover, we can send the invitation to more than 5 friends at once and also ask for their confirmation directly.
- Frozen Foods and Cola
To minimize the budget, we have to choose frozen foods for the party. It is cheaper and but the taste is not too bad. And for the drinks, we can buy some liter of Colas rather than buy a tin package. For the cakes, the home-made cake is also recommended to minimize the budget.
- Indoor/Home Party
An indoor party will minimize the cost because we do not need to prepare more furniture and accessories for inside the house. Moreover, an indoor chair made from teak wood will never be old for the party.
