A long walk with a coffee at the end
Needs 3 people
Costs the price of a coffee. Works in every season and in every city, and three people is enough.
Things to do with friends, and how to actually make them happen
Cheap ideas
Things to do with friends on a budget
Money is the quiet reason people say no. If a plan costs thirty euros, half the group finds a reason to be busy instead of saying they would rather not spend it. Plans that cost nothing get a yes much faster, and they are usually the ones people remember.
Say the price in the invitation
Write what it costs next to what it is. "Walk and coffee, about four euros" removes the awkward part before anyone has to ask. Nobody has to invent a reason to say no, so more people say yes.
Free plans need a time and a place, not a budget
A park has no booking and no bill, which also means nothing holds the plan together. Give it an exact hour and an exact spot, and say how many people it needs to be worth it.

A picnic where everyone brings one thing
Needs 4 people
One blanket, one thing each. The cheapest plan that still feels like an occasion.
A pickup game in the park
Needs 6 people
A ball and a free court. This is the plan that needs a minimum most, because six people turn up for a game and two people turn around and go home.
Board games at somebody's place
Needs 4 people
Free after the first evening, and it gets better the more often you do it.
Cook instead of eating out
Needs 4 people
A pot of something, split four ways, costs less than one main course. Cooking is the plan, eating is the reward.
A run or a swim, then breakfast
Needs 3 people
Free, early and over by ten. The kind of plan that makes the rest of the day feel long.
A museum on a free evening
Needs 3 people
Most cities have one night a month with free entry. Put it in the calendar the moment you find it.
A game night online
Needs 4 people
Free, no travel, no round of drinks. Good for the week when nobody has money left.
How it works here
Nobody has to be the first to say yes.
- 1.Pick the idea and say how many people it needs.
- 2.Send one link to your people. They tap "Count me in".
- 3.It's on once enough of them are in. Everyone gets the invite, the place and a reminder.
If too few people join, it quietly does not happen. Nobody shows up alone, and nobody has to cancel anything.

How do you suggest a cheap plan without making it awkward?
