Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Make a list of friends you want to invite. Call or send written invitations to the people on your list. Ask everyone to bring their favorite drink, finger food, game and movie. By having everyone contribute, it will make hosting the party easier for you. People usually bring things they like, so you won't have to worry about guests coming and not liking any of the food. Don't let finances keep you from enjoying time with friends.

2. Start your party after dinner so it won't cost as much, and you will minimize your time in the kitchen. This will allow you to spend more time with your friends and enjoy the party more yourself. Play games, watch movies or just talk.

3. Use inexpensive paper plates and cups if you don't want to do dishes. Enjoy your night! You don't have to have a lot of money to have a lot of fun!
