Hello! Welcome back to my blog! I am currently in Mexico on a mission trip so I wanted to write a quick and fun post about how I plan parties. I may or may not have mentioned previously that I plan parties as a side job and I absolutely love it! Planning any type of party can be easy and fun if you have a game plan! Note: this game plan is roughly for simple parties lie birthday parties or super bowl parties, etc.
2 MONTHS BEFORE PARTY:
- Decide how many people you are inviting to the party
- Decide party theme
- Decide party budget
- Decide party date
- Make guest list
- decide on where the party will be held
1 MONTH BEFORE PARTY:
- Buy/make invitations and send them out
- decide on food and snacks for the party
- decide on games and decoration for the party
- decide on goodie bags (if wanted) for the party
- decide if you are making or buying food/cake
- if you are getting food catered or ordering a cake make an order at this time
2 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTY:
- Buy all decorations and party supplies (other than food)
- Get a head count of all who are coming to the party
- buy goodie bag supplies and make them
1 WEEK BEFORE THE PARTY
- Buy all extra supplies and food (except for fruit or anything that will go bad before then)
- Call all friends who have yet to RSVP and get a definite number of guests
- Decorate for the party
1 DAY BEFORE THE PARTY
- pick up extra food (fruit)
- if you chose to make snacks for the party do so now if not call catering and plan a pick up time for the next day
- pick up or make birthday cake
- if the party is at the house clean house and make sure all decorations are in place
DAY OF THE PARTY
- do last minute final touches
- place goodie bags, food, and cake in desired places
- ENJOY THE PARTY!
Thanks for reading! Sorry if I left anything out, it is hard to go through the steps of planning a party in your head! You might also notice that I plan ahead more than the average person, what can I say, I am not a procrastinator haha! New post will be up on Thursday!
