The holidays can be an expensive time a year and establishing a budget is key. When you create your budget it usually consists of gift buying, food, entertainment, and lights for the outdoors but generally not decorations for the home. Here are some budget-friendly tips to help keep the money in your wallet and your holiday guests happy.
1.
Check Your Inventory- Look for leftover items or
extra throws that can be used for decorating.
Collect candles, leaves, branches, and sticks to create a centerpiece
for your guests. Core some apples and
stick candles in them to add to your centerpiece. Put extra throws on your
couches to give your home a cozy feel.
2.
Look in Nature- Collecting items from nature is
not only free but it can add pine scent to your home or you can create your own
wreath with your findings. In nature, locate pinecones, pine tree branches, and
red berries.
3.
Find Mismatched Dinnerware- One challenge when
it comes to hosting a party is finding enough dinnerware for everyone to
use. Pick up used dinnerware at a local
thrift store to help accommodate for all of your guests. Try sticking with the holiday colors.
4.
Get Help From Your Kids- Have your kids help you
collect items from nature, decorate and even clean your house to help you save
money and time. Even have your kids make
a centerpiece for your guests.
5.
Create a Storage Place- Create space in your
home that is in good condition and well maintained to ensure your decorations
do not get ruined. Invest in good
storage bins and wrap all decorations properly before storing them.
