| Party Organizing Tips! We are getting ready for our Annual Mardi Gras themed-party at our house this weekend so I thought it would be appropriate for me to share some of my favorite party organizing tips with you. Party on! 1. Start early. Pick your party date well in advance. As a person who likes to make lists and plan ahead, this is essential for me. 2. Start small. If you are fairly new to entertaining, start with a small guest list. 3. Create a guest list and get those invites out early. Give your guests the opportunity to plan ahead as well. Especially if they need to get sitters, etc. 4. Use electronic invitations. Using an online invitation helps you stay organized with your invite list and your RSVP's. In today's crazy busy world, a lot of people will fail to RSVP if they have to find the invitation with the phone number on it, find a good time to call for you and for them and remember to do all of this before the party actually takes place! However, if they can reply with a simple click on yes or no, they are much more likely to do it. It also helps you keep track of the RSVP's as they come in. *I love using www.evite.com. They have a huge selection of invitations to choose from and if you can't find one you like, you can create your own using your own images. 5. Create a menu/beverage list based on number of guests. Use a party drink planner like the one on evite. This will help you decide what and how much to buy for your party. Shop early for non-perishables. 6. Create a decoration list. Keep decorations simple and general. 7. Start getting ready early. There are always things that happen that are unpreventable. Having more time allows you to handle these inconveniences with grace and even a sense of humor at times. 8. Don't forget to have fun. It's your party! |
