When planning your party, be mindful of the types of guest you want to attend and the style of your party. Fancy parties may seem like a good idea, but if it stretches your budget too far, you may feel more stress than fun. If your budget is tight, consider throwing a smaller party or looking for alternatives that can allow you to ring in the New Year with your friends and family on a budget that keeps everyone happy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RddnBMMaamc

Make a list of all items you will need for your New Year's Eve Party. Consider all food, drinks, decorations, games, favors, party hats and other items you will need to enhance the theme of your party. If you plan to have an upscale party, also include the type and number of hired services you will need for parking duties, serving food and drinks and for cleanup.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RddnBMMaamc

Decide if you want a formal party filled with upscale food items and drinks, or a low-key party with close friends. If money is tight, consider hosting a pot-luck or BYOB party so you can include all your friends at your party. For a close-knit group of friends, consider using a catering service and dividing the cost among all attendees to reduce the individual burden.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RddnBMMaamc

Price out all of the items you will need for your New Year's Eve party. Shop around for the best prices, especially if you plan to use catering services. Once you establish the base price for each item, determine your guest list. Match your available budget to the number of guest you invite so that you have sufficient supplies without breaking the bank. If you are having trouble paring down your guest list, revisit your supplies and look for items or supplies that you could modify to balance your budgetary needs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RddnBMMaamc
