Each of these party ideas are fresh and completely easy to implement. Be prepared to blow your friends’ socks off with these simple but budget-friendly party ideas.

Casino Night
This party theme can literally be for adults of all ages! A Casino Night is the perfect way to liven up a party with entertainment throughout. You can set the dress code as black-tie giving your guests the chance to dress up and look their best. As for the refreshments, you can treat your guests to cheap bottles of prosecco in champagne flute glasses to make them feel refined. You can even add small platters of food such as cheese or olives that can be served throughout which will save you the trouble of cooking (or ordering) full meals.The entertainment is simple as all you’ll need are laptops, playing cards or cheap table game replicas. With laptops or tablets, you can set up online slots in demo play, whilst playing cards can be used for multiple card games. Finish off the event, with a suave playlist and you’ll be set for an incredible party.

Board Game Night
If you want to go for something a little bit more low-key, then a Board Game Night is the ideal party idea for you. This takes barely any preparation and is the best choice if you have loads of different board games in your house. If you don’t, you can even ask your friends to bring along their favourite board games. Add in a killer soundtrack that fits the board games you’ve selected along with some tasty treats, and you’ve got a thrilling night ahead of you. Throwing a Board Game Night is a cheap way to have an enjoyable time with your friends without spending too much money. The most you’ll spend will be on snacks and drinks which will not break the bank. Board games are a great way to interact with friends or even cement friendships even more. It’s well-known that board games bring people together and make for some hilarious moments. There are literally hundreds of board games out there meaning that there is a game for everyone! We recommend doing this party idea if you have a small gathering in mind.

Costume Party
Everyone loves dressing up and becoming someone new, so why not throw a good old-fashioned costume party? There is no need to purchase expensive costumes or outfits, and you can set the theme to meet the needs of your group of friends. For example, if you all love Harry Potter, then you can create homemade costumes with glasses, sticks and a lot of imagination. This could even be accompanied by watching the Harry Potter films or listening to the soundtrack. Alternatively, you can always go for something more simple with a time-period specific party such as the 80s allowing your guests to dress up in neon colours. There is so much freedom in throwing a costume party and there are no limitations on what the costume party could be. Just make sure that you have relevant music playing throughout and some costume-related food for an awesome party.

Spa Night
Sometimes all you want to do is relax and worship your body like the temple it is. The best way to do this is by throwing a Spa Night (or pamper party) where you and your friends can meet up and literally just focus on having a tranquil night. This is extremely cheap as all you’ll need to buy are face masks and a few beauty treatments to deliver a memorable party for your friends. You can tell them to dress down for the occasion bringing dressing gowns and their fluffiest slippers.Throughout the night, you can play spa music or just put on some comfort films. With a Spa Night, you can throw a thrifty party that your friends will certainly appreciate. There’s a misconception that parties need to be a loud and rowdy occasion, but that is not the case anymore. A pamper party could be a much-needed affair for your friends and (more importantly) it’s a budget-friendly option for your bank.

Creative Party
A party does not have to be a rambunctious event, it can be used as a way to learn something new with your friends. This could be done with something simple such as baking or through an activity with more intense planning such as jewellery making. A Creative Party is the perfect excuse to learn a new skill with your friends without having to pay for expensive classes. All you’ll need is the equipment and an internet connection to access YouTube. This could even become a regular party that could become a staple amongst your friendship group. Other than a few snacks and motivational music, the only thing that you’ll have to cover is the equipment or resources needed to get started. This could even deliver a profit for your friendship group if you create something that can be sold. No matter what you decide to make at the Creative Party, you are guaranteed to have a memorable experience with your friends.
