More Holiday Fun For Less Money

Decorations on a Dime

  • Have your kids help out. Print out these fun coloring pages and place cards.
  • Use what you already have. Guests won't be traveling throughout every room in your entire house. Pick favorite pieces from different rooms and combine them for a fresh and festive look.
  • Flowers can be pricey. Set out an assortment of candles or a creatively arranged assortment of twigs, gourds or pinecones for a lower-cost centerpiece.
  • Search local resale shops for unique pieces. A great find could make a wonderful conversation starter.
  • Borrow platters, serving dishes, tables and linens from neighbors or friends if you need more; don't buy.
