Planning your first party can be very challenging. If you’re not sure where to begin, here’s a breakdown of the most important things you should consider.
Decide on a Theme – What are you celebrating? Are you planning a birthday party, a get-together with close friends, or something else? The theme you choose should elevate the atmosphere and match the purpose. Know your audience when choosing a theme!
Set the Budget – Jersey City is easily one of the most expensive cities in New Jersey, and when you’re looking for venues, it shows. Before looking for the perfect space, set a strict budget and account for things like booking the venue, catering, and entertainment.
Procure Refreshments – The venue and the food go hand in hand—two of the most memorable things of any party. The first step is to decide on the catering; are you going for a professional caterer, or do you want to try your hand at it? Does the venue offer indoor catering, or do you have to look for alternatives?
Prepare Your Party Space – Decorate your party space to match your vision and ensure everything is ready. Double-check bathrooms, sound systems, and lighting rigs, and make sure the refreshments are properly refrigerated (or heated). Before you know it, you’ll be planning your next event!
While Jersey City is fairly expensive, you don’t need to break the bank to host an amazing party. Here’s how to get the most bang for your buck when planning a party in Jersey City.
When should you book a venue?
The best time of the year to plan a party in Jersey City is in the off-peak season, between November and April. If you don't have that much flexibility to plan, you can always plan it for a weekday between Monday and Thursday, and you can still save some money.
Consider a more limited menu.
There’s no need to go all out on an expensive five-course menu if you’re planning a small get-together with friends. Instead, consider a more limited menu that offers just enough variety and fills all the dietary requirements of your guests.
Reuse old decorations.
You don't have to hire a decorator and purchase expensive decorations you’ll use once. Instead, reuse old decorations, look up ideas online, and shop at local thrift stores for the materials you’ll need. Make your own decorations and make your party more memorable!
