Money Saving Tips for End of Summer Parties from Pierce Events

Pittsburgh, PA - You may be planning an end of summer party and in doing so Pierce Events is offering some tips to help you entertain without breaking the bank.

Think small. You don’t have to have huge amounts of food to satisfy your guests. Keep portions and presentation smaller. Think mini cheese burgers with an array of toppings. Small portions know as Tapas are very popular. Use smaller plates and cups when serving.

Share the affair. Don’t hesitate to ask invited guest to bring their favorite dish. You might find a new food favorite while the sharing the food costs. Often guests love to share a family recipe. You can do this with drinks, desert, salads, or anything.

Go plastic. It seems like paper plates are the easy choice. Just toss them away when you are done. However, if you have frequent gatherings, go with some good plastic ware. They are easy to clean and will save you money in the long run with multiple uses. Not to mention it keep you dirty plates out the landfill.

Discount Décor – Many discount retail stores are a great source for party supplies. Check out your local dollar store for everything from centerpiece supplies to place mats. Many summers items are sold at deep discounts at large retail outlets. Buy on sale now and store for use next season.
