Rockin' Around

What’s Christmas without a party to celebrate? The Drama Queen, a leading event planning company in Mumbai, shares their expert tips on hosting the perfect gathering, without burning a hole in your pocket

PLAN

Before you get down to business, it is important to have a clear picture of what you’d want your party to look like. First, decide on who your invitees are – is it a kiddie exclusive party? Adults only? Or is it going to be a fun for all event? Once that’s decided, you then move on to the setting of your party. Having your celebration indoors or outdoors is largely subject to the COVID restrictions in your city. December weather is sweater weather, and while it may be pleasant in some city, some face harsh winters, and in such cases, an outdoor party might not be your best bet.

SET A BUDGET

If you’re someone on a tight budget, the best way to avoid any chance of extra expenses is to limit your guests down to the least. For example, if your party is kids only, then you need not invite all the kids in your society or from your baby’s circle. You can limit the friends to whom she most enjoys with. Technology has taken over and you can use it to your advantage to cut costs and be within budgets. Use it to create invites, reminders and thank you messages, over making them personally or having them specially made. There are a number of free apps available to do this, which will cut time, cost and logistics over sending them to your guest
