Send fun invites
This time of the year, calendars fill up quickly. Therefore, it’s wise to send out your invites a few weeks before your party. It’s also a good idea to ask your guests to RSVP. This will make it easier for you to plan your evening. If you don’t have a lot of time, a popular way to invite your guests is to create invites online and send it via email. Canva is a great app you can use to create e-vites. This web app has a range of fun templates you can use to simply customise your invites and send them out quickly.

One of the best things of end-of-the-year parties is the food and drinks. If you want to cook a few dishes, it’s wise to plan in advance. Don’t bother with a complicated menu, rather have a few delicious and quick dishes or finger foods that can easily be prepared. If you think of end-of-the-year parties, you usually think of lavish events with expensive catering, but if you plan carefully, it shouldn’t be. If you’re looking for affordable ingredients and promotions on drinks, browse the catalogues from your favourite stores on latestspecials.co.za.
Simply look for a specific store on this website and you will find its latest promotional catalogues. For specials on food, look at the latest Shoprite catalogue. This store is often overlooked, but actually Shoprite has some of the lowest prices and incredible deals every month. Simply search for ‘Shoprite specials November 2019’ and you will find the best specials this month. For drinks, you can also look for ‘Shoprite liquor specials’ to find low prices on alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Who says you can’t have a good time on a budget?
