It’s not uncommon to ask guests to bring drinks and food to a party. My friends and I do it all the time. Nobody should think poorly of you, especially considering your current situation. If anyone is offended by your request to make your party a potluck and decides to boycott, then the bright side is you won’t have to squeeze 20 guests into 8 chairs in your tiny apartment. And you learn who cares about you and who cares about free food and drink. :) If the party is in the evening, open the windows and hope for a cool breeze. Borrow fans from friends and family to keep air flowing.

Buy a box cake, and bake and decorate it yourself. If you don’t have a cake pan you can get disposable ones at the grocery for pretty cheap.

Decorations aren’t necessary. If you must have them, you can get a bag of balloons and a roll of crepe and that should be fine for decoration. Dollar stores are great places to find cheap decorations. Make a card on the computer or get some cheap paper and crayons and draw something cute for him.

Don’t let finances stress you out. You have a home and friends and a fiance’ who will appreciate this gift you are giving him. Most importantly, you have each other. Have fun!

Ok here is some advice. first of all dont stress this is supossed to be fun. So your’re on a budget, Try going to like a dollar store and getting cheap streamers..ballons..happy birthday signs and stuff like that to decorate with. pick a color theme. Also they have napkins, plates, cups spoons/forks all that stuff also. (which means easy clean up w/ no dishes) for Food stick to appetizers, and easy dips. chips and cheese cubes crackers.. instead of buying pre-made dips make them yourself the night before by buying the packets that you just mix w/ mayo or cream cheese. If you feel comfortable enough w/ the guest invited ask a friend to make a dish to bring…if you feel okay w/ that. If you plan on serving alcohol try to stick to simple choices..cases of miller or bud. maybe a couple bottles of big wine..It will all start coming together once you get in the planning mood. just dont stress. Good luck!

Okay, well I’m a great party thrower so her goes: First you need a guest list, make sure you don’t invite too many people. You need some great banners and balloons, there is a part shop called ‘Fun’ you could get supplies from there. Make sure you give everyone notice and invitations, to make it better, make it into a surprise party. You can let your fiance come home and be surprised to a family and friends party. For food you could higher a caterer, but it would be easier if you go to Marks and Spencers and bye a whole bunch of cakes, and food- unless you can cook which is probably nicer. Anyway, I hope I helped, enjoy the party, and after this, you’ll be throwing parties all the time :) have fun! MISS FF
