Theme
• I suggest that we use the colours of our countries’ flags for the theme. The party guests could dress in red, white, blue or yellow or blue, white, and red. This would be an easy theme for everyone to follow and would also represent our experience.
Refreshments
• If each student brought a dish, this would provide plenty of food for everyone and again keep our costs down. Hiring outside catering would be very expensive. We
• could coordinate carefully and make sure we have starters, main courses and desserts. We could also request that students bring something to drink, and then use the budget to provide plates, glasses, and cutlery.
CONCLUSION
• Taking all these suggestions into consideration, I strongly believe we can organise a brilliant farewell party while still keeping costs low.
