Everything doesn’t have to be made from scratch.

Take some crackers and top with pepperoni and olive.

Buy a tray of brownies and decorate them with festive colored icing and sprinkles.

Buy a bulk bag of nuts and spice them yourself.

Make party favors for your guests

This doesn’t have to be hard or expensive either.

Fill each with a simple ornament and ribbon streamers.

Decorate glass votive holders and add an aromatic candle to each.

Ask for party gifts

Every guest can bring a small wrapped gift to be used as prizes for party games.

As for the games themselves, game ideas can be downloaded off the internet for hours of fun.

Bring out the Streaming Services

No need for an expensive DJ.

Stream your favorite holiday station.

Get a karaoke game going.

Who says that fun has to be expensive?
