You want to plan a great party, but you don’t want to break the bank to do it.  Don’t worry. The most successful parties are well planned, not the most expensive. You probably remember a great party you attended at one time or another.  Though they are great place to glean ideas, don’t try to duplicate a party you’ve already attended.  You want your party to be remembered for the fun and the festivities, not because it was just like someone else’s.
