How To Throw A Holiday Party On a $100 budget

The holidays can be a stressful time of year for many people. Theres lots of rushing around and, let’s be honest, it get’s pretty expensive! If you enjoy entertaining but need to stick to a budget you can throw a fun party with less than $100 thanks to some fabulous finds at Giant Tiger. They have a great selection of games and activities for kids and a wide variety of grocery items at an affordable price.

This year we decided to throw our holiday party with friends in the afternoon. A mid-day celebration is the perfect time to get together when everyone has kids, am I right?! It also allows you to stay on budget because you’re serving light bites as apposed to a big fancy dinner. We used these tasty flat bread sandwich pieces we found at Giant Tiger to make delicious turkey and egg salad sandwiches that are easy for people to snack on. We like to place light bites on different tables throughout the space so that there are a variety of options around the room.

When you’re hosting families its always a good idea to have an activity on hand to keep the little ones entertained. We found these adorable mini gingerbread house kits at Giant Tiger and the kids just loved them! They really enjoyed putting their mini house together and took their time decorating their little masterpiece. It keeps the kiddos busy for a good 45 minutes and each set only cost $9.99 for 4 mini houses. Such a great deal and they were definitely the hit of the party.

We were able to make all of the light bites and get the 2 sets of gingerbread houses for just under $100 from Giant Tiger! They have a great selection and you don’t need to break the bank to enjoy the holidays this year. Who’s ready to throw their own party on a budget? Giant Tiger and I are giving YOU the chance to win a $100 so that you can create your own bash on a budget!

Entering is easy! Just Subscribe to my mailing list (found on the right side of my home page) and then comment below who you’d invite to your get together. Winner announced Friday Dec 15 2017. Good luck!
