Holiday Budget-Friendly Ideas
Decorations can be budget friendly by taking advantage of glitz and glitter. Use gold ornament balls of different sizes, cream colored assorted candles, gold napkins and accessories. This keeps flowers to a minimum and keeps the cost down. What to drink? Have a coffee bar with flavored coffees condiments from sugar to mini-chocolate chips. I like to serve champagne in a flute with berries.
