If you never had dinner parties or event parties growing up, then you have no idea what to do.
Not a problem, I will help you with a party planning idea.
When you're a child you get to have your basic junk food of chips, candy and pizza.
Now you're an adult.
Okay let's find out "the why" in party.
Once you know that, you can move forward with a theme.
If you have an adult party where children are invited, you should have some activities planned for them to keep them busy.
Once you have a count of guests, you can put together a budget and make a list of party supplies.
Now move forward with your invitation.
I love to make mine, but I realize this isn't a reality for most of us in today's world.
The most popular way right now is "Evite".
I must admit it is convenient, because you also have the ability to send a note to the Host or Honoree.
Most importantly it keeps track of who's coming, so that is off your checklist.
Where? Are you having this at home or at another location? Pro's and Con's.
Possible Con's: If you feel you can accommodate your guests in your home, great.
Can you afford to cater it? If you have to make all the food, and you actually know how much to buy, serve it and then clean up, when will you enjoy your party? So if you can afford to hire someone to be in the kitchen to help with the food and all clean up, then you'll enjoy your party.
Possible Pro's: If you decide to have it at a venue, this will eliminate a ton of responsibility and you will definitely enjoy yourself.
They will know how much food per person, but the con is this could be expensive.
The number one thing your guest will remember is the food, whatever the venue.
