Do you like to entertain but not are not too fond of the party price tag?Personally, I always find myself “doing too much” in an attempt to make every party detail just perfect for my guests. Though these days, it is not so easy to splurge on all the party essentials. Here is one way I have rethought my party drinks in order to save more money without cutting out the style:

 Skip the individual cocktails.

I still recommend serving your guests a party cocktail or signature drink however, but rather than puring individual glasses, opt for a cocktail punch instead. Your drink dollars will stretch much further if you switch to serving your drinks out of punch bowls, allowing guests to fill their own cups. Think about it: If you were serving Mimosas, how many could you make using one bottle of champagne? Now, consider the fact that you could make an entire punch bowl of Mimosas with that same one bottle.

Brilliant, I know.
