Entertaining a Crowd: Cheap Giveaways to Try

If you are in charge of the party, or get together, then you are definitely looking for a cheaper way to entertain the entire crowd. Fortunately there are many tried and true ideas that you can rely on if you need some inspiration!

Balloon Animals

No one ever outgrows balloon animals, and getting a balloon artist is one of the cheaper ways to entertain a crowd, adults or kids. Most of the time, the artist will bring his or her own balloons, so the balloons are actually included in the price with the entertainment!

Wristbands

If your event is for a cause, one of the cheapest, and best ways to get the message out as well as cheaply entertain your audience, is through the giveaway of wristbands. It serves as a memento of the occasion, as well as a great conversation piece for the get-together itself.

Potluck Entertainment

Sometimes when you cannot come up with an idea, it is best to tell the audience to bring their own entertainment. For instance, if you have some friends who play instruments, you may employ them to entertain the crowd as an impromptu band. You could have a dance contest with a bag of M&Ms for the winner. Allowing people to create their own entertainment involves them in a much greater fashion than simply having them passively respond to others.

Pens or Pins

One of the cheapest and most effective giveaways at a get-together, is something that everyone will use at a later date. Everyone needs to write at some point or another, so you can give away pens with the occasion tattooed on. You can also give away pins that will serve as a memento. You can get one of the most cost-effective bulk orders of pins at www.PinPros.com.

Candy

Everyone loves candy, and it is one of the cheapest things that you can get, especially before the holiday season kicks in. Along with giving away as advised in the tip above, you can also have it lying around in bowls, so that people can eat whenever they want. There are plenty of entertaining types of candies, such as those with a little kick, or those that take a long time to dissolve in the mouth. As long as you combine this with one of the tips above, you are sure to have a low-cost, effective way to entertain the crowd.

Try these awesome giveaways as prizes or as part of the party. Either way you are sure to find a cheap way to keep everyone happy and entertained at your next event.
