Being a college student for the past four years of my life, budgeting and cutting back on expenses is something I had to master. But at the same time I had to make sure I had a social life, no matter how poor I was. Therefore, I consider myself an expert at throwing parties at home on a very minimal budget—extremely minimal. My suggestion for a fun, inexpensive, girl’s night in is a “Clothes Swap”.
You might have seen it on the show Giuliana and Bill on the E channel network. The main concept behind this home-hosted event is to go through your wardrobe and find articles of clothes you either outgrown or find yourself not wearing anymore.

I have seen groom’s cakes in many different shapes, but my favorite would have to be a groom’s cake I saw for a groom who was a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc, which was in the shape of his gold boots.

I’m sure you’ve heard of that saying, “every little detail counts.” Although it may be hard to focus on the little details while you’re planning an event, your guests recognize how much thought you put into your event. It could be anything from the color consistency to the type of invitation you send out. Another little detail that your guests are sure to recognize and appreciate are the stamps you put on your envelopes if you’re mailing your invitations, save the dates or announcements.
Customizing your stamps by tailoring them to fit your event is a great and inexpensive way to give your event a little more “umph.”
