Party Planning

Hello Everyone!

One thing that gives me alot of pleasure is party planning. I just get a big kick out of planning all the details, going shopping for what I need and putting everything together on the special day. I've been known to get quite creative with the details and I like to see how everyone enjoys what I've done.

Creating a fun and memorable party doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. You just have to be organized. I suggest you get started at least 3 months before the party though I often start way before that. Many people ask me how I can start so early but I think it's just part of being organized--you know it's your daughter's Sweet Sixteen or your son's High School Graduation in a few months so why not start getting ready right away? This gives you plenty of time to decide on a theme and to shop for what you need. It also saves money since you might find things on sale and not have to buy things at the last minute because you need them. When you give yourself enough time to think about what you want to create you can often spot things that you already have or can borrow so you don't need to buy everything. You can also become more creative and use things in a different way than their original purpose because you have time to think and prepare. I'm a firm believer in not having to spend alot of money to achieve something great.

In the next few days I'll discuss in detail a few parties that I've planned that were a great success.

Make today a pretty day!
