Hello one and all, as you know I've been posting some discussions on ways to make money at and from Easter time. That's so far ranged from
making and selling your own chocolate Easter eggs?, to
making and selling gift baskets, ??to
making and selling Easter cards?, to
baked Easter snacks! Which have all gone down great and are very legitimate, possible ways to make some money at Easter time, from Easter time!
And today I wanted to talk about another way to make money at Easter by hosting your own
Easter dinner party!
Hosting Your Own Easter Themed Dinner Party!
Now how can you make money from hosting your own party? Surely that would actually cost you more money in drinks and food and entertainment than you could make from it? Well no not if you charge for entry and food and drinks. You could charge say,
$20 a head, and if you could hold up to 25 people, that would be
$500. Out of that, you might have to buy a few drinks, some bottles of stuff, alcohol and soft drinks. And from that, have enough to buy the food needed for the actual dinners (starters, main and dessert) and still have enough left over to bank!
Now obviously, 25 people might be a lot of people to sit at one dinner party. Most of us only have dinning rooms big enough for a 3.2 family! But if you could do it and had the space for it, this could be quite profitable for you. The above is only an example, and if you could source cheap booze and food and put a spin on it so that it's all good, cooked well, presented well etc. Then there's no reason why it wouldn't all work out well for you.
The trick is to provide some entertainment for the night. That could be done with something as simple as a karaoke machine,
Just Dance on the XBox or something like that. To playing adult games like
Would You Rather or
Cards Against Humanity or something! Those types of games always guarantee a laugh and if you make people laugh, fill their bellows and get them a little bit drunk they will be much less inclined to ask for a refund at the end of the night!
And obviously as it's an EASTER party. You'd have to make it Easter themed as well. If it was a party for adults, you could introduce an adult theme to it. That would mean less chocolate eggs, more chocolate fountain! You could put out a nice spread or two. ?
That could be something as simple as this Easter bunny rabbit shaped spread.
To something more appetizing and appealing like.
Is this something you could do?
If you're quite the party planner and good at organizing events like this and you have the home for it. Then absolutely you could! Of course, you'd have to advertise about it first, and you'd have to convince people to come to yours instead of going somewhere like a restaurant or some place instead.
One way you could attract people to it, is to maybe partner with someone popular, some popular local bands or artists and have them as the entertainment for part of the night. You'd have to pay them for it of course but if you do some math and can throw a great party, so long as you advertise it well enough, they will come!
Conclusion
Throwing an Easter dinner party isn't for everyone. There could be a lot of cleaning and washing up to do! And it might feel strange going to a dinner party with people you don't know or haven't ever met before. So it might be better off kept amongst close friends that wouldn't say no to you and wouldn't mind giving you $20+ if it means they don't have to bring their own food and drink and entertainment will be taken care of.
Have you ever ran your own Easter dinner party?
Is this something you could or would do on any scale?
