When is Your Event? – Choose an appropriate date and time for the special occasion. Weekend dates are when most people are available, but then crowds are heavier and rates for food and other services may be higher.
Who to Invite? – Make a list of guests—bear in mind, the more people, the higher the cost.
Select a Venue – Use the Giggster app to choose an affordable, inspirational venue that suits your event vision for a one-of-a-kind party.
Create a Menu – Delicious food makes every party a hit! You may want to use the home's kitchen to cook up pleasing cuisine. Or, you could hire a caterer, have a potluck, use home delivery, or schedule a food truck.
Send Invitations – Themed invitations add enthusiasm. Include the date & time, location, and your phone number.
How Will You Decorate? – A beautifully decorated venue is the icing on the cake! You can decorate on your own or hire a professional.
Entertainment – Choose entertainment that fits the occasion. Ideas include a DJ or live music and dancing, a photo booth, or a themed quiz.
Schedule – Create a schedule to keep everything on track. You might schedule the first 30 minutes for appetizers and drinks, giving guests a chance to mingle, followed by other planned activities.
Verify Details – Review your plan to make sure nothing is overlooked. Confirm the date and time with the vendors. Start readying your event space rental and kick off a great home party!
There are various ways to save money and still host a fantastic home party. The following are several ideas from the Giggster app.
Can you do it yourself (DYI)?
When your home party venue is decorated beautifully, it takes the ambiance to the next level. Rather than spend money on a professional decorator, you can save money by creating the decor yourself. Ask your artistic friends and family members to lend a hand. Concerned about the cost of entertainment? You can rent a karaoke machine for guests to showcase their singing talent. Take a few minutes to think about other things you can do independently to prevent overspending.
Are you flexible with dates and times?
Costs might be higher during peak seasons, holidays, and on weekends. If you can avoid these times, service fees may be lower.
Have you looked at venue amenities?
Rather than rent or buy amenities, you'll find that many homes include the features you need, like a sound system, comfortable seating, a full kitchen, BBQ grills, fire pits, and more. When browsing the Giggster app, you'll find a complete description of all amenities included for each venue.
Giggster helps you easily find curated and affordable unique spaces for parties and events of all types in Vancouver. From stunning homes to airy lofts to luxury penthouses and more, the Giggster app has the perfect venue to make your special event unforgettable!
