Over Budget?
You say:
Looks good! But might be over budget, where can we cut?
Mory will:
OK, let me see where we can trim:
## Cost-Saving Ideas
### 1. Venue (save $500-800)
- Choose a weekday: 20% cheaper than weekends
- Afternoon session: cheaper than evening
- Bring some decorations: reduce venue setup fee
### 2. Decorations (save $300-500)
- Buy vs rent decorations
- Have employees make DIY decorations
- Share accessories at photo booth instead of giving to everyone
### 3. Catering (save $800)
- Buffet style: $32/person
- Basic beverages only
### Optimized Budget
| Item | Original | Optimized |
|------|----------|-----------|
| Venue | $3,000 | $2,400 |
| Catering | $4,000 | $3,200 |
| Decorations | $1,500 | $1,000 |
| Prizes | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| Contingency | $500 | $500 |
| **Total** | **$10,000** | **$8,100** |
This saves about $1,900 as buffer. How does that look?
