To keep costs down, try booking venues with a minimum spend option instead of a flat hire fee, so your budget goes towards food and drinks. Hosting your birthday during off-peak times, like a weekday, can also help lower the price since weekends are often more expensive. For smaller gatherings, look at hourly rental options, which allow you to pay for just the time you need. Finally, some venues allow you to bring in your own food, which can be much cheaper than paying for in-house catering.
