Itโll Be Spring and Summer Before You Know It!
That means itโs never too early to start planning for those special outdoor gatherings. With warmer weather comes the perfect opportunity to celebrate the seasonโdonโt wait until the last minute to get everything organized!
When it comes to party planning, early preparation makes all the difference. The type of event you're hosting will determine how much planning you need, but the more rare or meaningful the occasion, the more important it is to get a head start.
Letโs Start Planning!
Use this party planning checklist to guide you through the details:
Make a list of people to invite.
Mark the date on your calendar.
Send invitations (mail, email, or phone).
Plan the menu, including beverages.
Make a shopping list (food, paper goods, decorations).
Plan your cooking schedule:
What can be made ahead and frozen?
What will you prepare the day before?
What will be bought ready-made?
Make a list of equipment needed (tables, chairs, tents, etc.).
Plan the layout of your space (keep food stations spaced out for easy flow and mingling).
Choose your music.
Think about lighting.
Buy or make a centerpiece or other decorations.
Check your cleaning supplies for before and after the party.
Make sure you have enough platters and serving pieces.
