• Self-Catering: Look for venues that allow external catering so you can bring in your own food.
• BYOB: Choose a venue that allows you to bring your own alcohol. This can significantly reduce costs compared to buying drinks at the venue.
• Entertainment: Instead of hiring expensive entertainment, create a playlist of your favourite songs, set up some fun party games, or ask a friend to DJ.

• Scottish Highland Party: Embrace the local culture with a Highland-themed party. Guests can wear kilts, and you can serve traditional Scottish food and drinks like haggis, neeps, tatties, and whisky.
• Whisky Tasting: Host a sophisticated whisky tasting event. Hire a whisky expert or set up your own tasting stations with a variety of Scottish whiskies. Pair the drinks with cheese and chocolate for a refined celebration.
• Outdoor Picnic Party: If the weather is nice, plan an outdoor picnic in one of Glasgow's outdoor spaces. Bring blankets, picnic baskets filled with treats, and outdoor games to keep everyone entertained.
• Hollywood Glamour: Roll out the red carpet for a Hollywood-themed party. Encourage guests to dress as their favourite movie stars, and set up a photo booth with glamorous props.
• Game Night: If you prefer a more relaxed gathering, host a game night with board games, card games, and video games around the venue.
