Spring break is headed our way! That's right, warm weather and sunny days are right around the corner. You don't have to plan a big trip or spend a ton of money to make your mini break memorable. With spring break you'll find fun under the sun, new releases from popular artists competing for the number 1 slot on the charts, and every excuse to plan a blow out party!

We've crafted a few party planning tips to ensure you have the most memorable spring break of all time!

TREATS AND EATS

No party is a party without the treats and eats for everyone to enjoy. Whether it's a big or small gathering, people love having something tasty on the table. We recommend going for delicious yet inexpensive. There are two simple ways to make sure your party has the delights everyone can enjoy.

• Invite people to bring their owns snacks.

Guests will love the chance to pitch in and bring their own dishes and it ensures their favorites are there to enjoy. Plus, it makes everyone feel included in hosting and it's a way they can give back. You plan the party and host it, they bring the chow! It's kind of a win-win. 

• Serve sweet, salty and savory.

If designating snack duty to your friends doesn't work, you can always provide the treats while saving money. Offer something sweet like fruits or candy that doesn't melt. You can put it all in a bowl and let people eat as they please. Additionally, share something salty! Small party favors like pretzels and chips make everyone happy. Plus, there's no better excuse to enjoy a few carbs than when you're celebrating with friends.

BRING ON THE GAMES!

As fun as catching up with pals you haven't seen in a while can be, add some games to the mix to get everyone involved. Your spring break blowout may enable you to meet somebody new, or you may rekindle with an old flame. Party games are always the perfect way to break the ice and get a sneak preview on somebody's personality! There are sure to be plenty of laughs.

Games like Cards Against Humanity, Jenga, and Mafia are a great way to kick a party off with a bang. Discover who has the best sense of humor and the most disturbing. Find out who is a Jenga master and who you can trust to keep a secret. What's more fun than running around with your friends trying to crown the newest champion?

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC

Finally, and possibly most important to any successful party, play some incredible music! If you can't dance at a party and get down, did you really attend a party? Crafting the perfect playlist can be hard sometimes. Everyone has a different taste in music, some songs are overplayed on the radio, and sometimes people are just picky about what they like. 

Regardless of that, we've got you covered. Play it safe by choosing a mixture of genres, slip in some chart-topping hits and some lowkey jams that lot your guests may have never heard. Find a balance of upbeat and slow tracks to ensure everyone can get a break from dancing when needed, and make sure you join in the fun too! After all, it's your spring break blow out.
