Here’s a cunning little trick that will make your life as the host so much easier. Create a party ideas checklist. On this party ideas checklist, write down all the things you need to do, when you need to do them, everything you need to bring in and when you need to get that done by.

To being with, create a realistic budget for your party. Immediately after that you will be able to know exactly how many people you can invite. From there, move on to the next stage.

Now, thinking about your guests, just exactly who do you want to invite? Add the words: “Make a list of potential guests” to your party ideas checklist. Further entries might include things like: Get/Create Invitations, Sign Invitations, Send Out Invitations. Date By When Invites Sent. A side note to this is that you really must have your invitations sent out at least 3 weeks before the party to give your gusts a chance to organize their diaries and book it in. This also allows them 2 weeks to get an RSVP back to you (state on the invites the exact date you want RSVP’s back by as one week out from the party).

Next? The venue! Where do you want to hold your party? If you have the budget to rent a place, good research pays off here. Ask friends what they have heard about venues and check the prices of every place you may be interested in. Decide if you want htem to supply your food and/or drinks. Do you want to hire a personal caterer instead? Again, before doing all of this, add it all to your checklist! Ask Friends, Call Venues For Prices and Availability, Choose Suppliers. You put the entries on your checklist however you want to, but make sure it is all on there!

Don’t forget to add a date in which you will get price quotations. If you want to do your own food, you may still need to add to your checklist the entry, Choose Food Suppliers. Then, maybe Book Suppliers / Caterers / Vendors according to your wishes. Then, near the bottom of the list, nearer to the date of the party, add a little reminder to confirm with your chosen supplier.

Always remember to add checklist entries relating to getting party supplies like party hats, napkins, utensils, paper plates etc. consider party favors. Do you want to give them out or not? If so, add Pricing / Buying Favors to the checklist. Does your party need more tables and chairs? Will it be in a tent or marquee? There is a lot of options, but it really works to jot them all down on the checklist to fit it all in easily and succinctly.

No two checklist are the same, but every party will benefit from having had one in advance. They represent a way to do things the easy way, to ensure everything is done when it is meant to be done. Hosting a party can be stressful enough without putting added pressure on yourself by expecting to remember it all up there in your head. Get it down on paper, specifically, get it down on your party ideas checklist!
