A mini party is possible with a low budget
What do you do when you reach a milestone in life? You have a party to celebrate with friends and family — to commemorate the end of your student days (Hooray! No more exams!), a marriage, or even your 21st year on earth. You reminisce the little moments that brought you to where you are today with the very people that have stood by your side throughout it all. It tells them you’ve made it safely and that you are happy; if you weren’t okay you wouldn’t even be thinking about having a party.
One of the hardest things you will have to struggle with when planning your party is who to invite. You want to invite your friends from secondary school but you cannot invite just one so you invite your whole gang. You also have to invite your friends from university but again, how many groups of friends have you accumulated from the CCAs and all the classes you attended? You have to invite friends for your friends too — Singaporeans don’t do well when they are alone at a party and usually don’t stay long.
The next most challenging thing to think about is how to feed all these people — you need to keep them at your party long enough that you can go around the room taking pictures and talking to everyone. Then, you need to consider everything else like where to have the party, will it have enough parking or if the location is convenient for everyone.
When you have a small party of less than fifty people, you have more choices on where to have your party but the paradox of choice is that it becomes more difficult to choose.
The venue determines the theme of your event (if you have one) and food choices will be constrained by the venue. For instance, having it at a function room means you can’t make too much noise and determines whether you can serve food or if you must tell your friends to have dinner before coming over. If you booked a restaurant to have your party, food choices are constrained to what is on the menu. I know it’s a lot to take into consideration so maybe its better to go all out and have a party at a large venue instead. After all, this is a milestone and hallmark in your life; it’s only going to happen once in your life.
Additionally, having more people come for your party means you get to reap economies of scale. For instance, a mini buffet delivery in Singapore can cost up to $13.70 per person from Le Xin Catering. However, a full buffet for more than fifty people will only cost you $10.70 per person for the same kind of menu (and you get free delivery too). You can then spend a little more for a better menu. Essentially, you enjoy bulk discounts with a big party that you cannot when you just have a small one. With buffet catering, you also get a variety of food that is sure to satisfy even the pickiest eaters (their menu ranges from an 8-course meal to an 11-course meal). Most buffet catering comes with the tables and skirting. Some of them provides high tea catering for 30 pax and ala carte catering menu, you can choose what you want for your party. Le Xin Catering also provides the trash bags and disposable utensils, so you don’t have to worry about lugging all of that for the venue. You can trust on brands like Le Xin Catering as they do daily tingkat as well so the ingredients are definitely fresh! They do have the best catering tingkat service.
Planning a party is definitely not for the faint-hearted but there are plenty of ways to minimize your worries and just let the professionals handle it. Now all you have to worry about is what to wear.
