Top 10 Ways to Save on Event Cost – #4 Piggyback
I believe it was Bill Withers who sang it best “…winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call…you got a friend…”.
When it’s time to rent party equipment for graduations, holidays, the Super Bowl, etc., consider calling an existing friend to share the cost. Perhaps they are planning a party as well, and by adding your plans onto theirs, together you both can give the dream party.
Think of this as the piggyback method to affordable event planning.
For example, you can share the cost of a weekend rental. You take it one day and they the next day. Together, you can pick up the party rentals for one event, then relocate them for the next event and then return them. However you work out the logistics, the savings you each realize can be significant.
For you adventurous piggyback brides-to-be, try finding another bride-to-be with a wedding day next to yours. Perhaps a Saturday, if your wedding is Friday. Or perhaps a noon event if yours is an evening. You never know what may be possible, if you both are willing to work with the same event planner or party rental firm.
What a great time it is for me to carry my kids piggyback style. Since we were going the same way, I provide them a lift, which allowed them to save their energy for a later cowboy ride on their favorite bronco horse…my knee.

Update: A couple of brides to be contacted me regarding the piggyback concept. We worked it out.
Here is what one of them had to say.
