Unless you have the money to spend to go out to dinner with your friends on a nightly basis, you might not see them as much as you would like. And let's be honest: they probably don't want to burn a hole in their pocket just to see you, either.
Instead of scheming up a way to go out to dinner with your friends next weekend, why not consider hosting an event at home? It may seem like a lot of work and just as much money to plan a dinner party, but doing so can be just as easy as thinking outside of the box.
Potluck dinners are one of the most affordable ways to invite your friends over to chow down on a budget. Not only does it make it easy on you as the host, but you're guaranteed to have enough food and variety for everyone.
To save even more money, consider creating your own invitations from scratch for a unique look. Use simple flatware for your place settings to create a relaxed mood.
If a potluck dinner doesn't sound appetizing, consider a fondue party or a dessert get-together. Think brunch if you plan on seeing each other on a weekend. Your wallet will thank you later.
