You love getting together with friends and family, but you don’t want to spend a small fortune or spend the whole day in the kitchen to host a get-together. Here are a few ways to still have a fun get-together with family and friends without breaking the bank or taking up all of your time:
For starters, you don’t have to host a traditional meal. How about a morning brunch or an afternoon of finger foods? You also can make it more about an activity than a meal — a cookie baking party or a movie night, for example.
If you’re planning a traditional sit-down meal, you don’t have to do everything yourself. We have a wide variety of time and money-saving options for serving a crowd! You also could make your get-together a potluck and have friends and/or family members bring side dishes. Invite some friends or family members early to help you in the kitchen.
Does it make you a bit nervous hosting a get-together? Remember that your friends and family will enjoy the meal and time with you – regardless of the food, activities and décor.
