Since this is the budget board, I'm going to throw out what a bad, bad idea financing FOOD is. Seriously, if you can not afford to pay cash, I would not do this party. It already seems that you're skimping on food to begin with.
I'm trying to keep it budget because I'm paying off 2 creditcard on Friday one which is my big one. And I will payoff the two smaller ones next month when those are due. I'm trying to keep it budget because personally I dont feel I need to spend hundreds of dollars on food. I was thinking of financing it because its a small monthly payment with 0% finance and that way the cash I would have spend can go toward the small cc next month or into my savings. The people are invited are close family and what we are having and the type of food we are having is a lot more than what some of them have at their own parties, some dont even have parties and some only have cake and ice cream.
Just curious you mention I'm skimping on food, what would you add to this menu?

-50 piece chicken
-hot dogs large pack from costco club ball park frank brand
-hot links (maybe)
-nachos-large crockpot full of cheese ,2 large bags of tortilla chips from costco
