Decorating for a Christmas party can cause a spending frenzy. With these simple tips, it doesn’t have to.

* Before buying any Christmas decorations for the party, assess your personal decor to find items that fit within your chosen color scheme or theme.

* Use party ware to add color and to personalize the party. Find customized napkins and coasters for a reasonable price at several online retailers.

* Add greenery for a seasonal touch. Many Christmas tree vendors give away cuttings, which you can collect for DIY garlands and wreaths.

* Finish with flowers for pops of festive color. Carnations are a chic and cheap choice.
