    Are you planning a party and worried you’ll forget something. Believe me when I say it is not a pleasant experience to be in the middle of a party and realize you’ve forgotten something. It might not even be something that big (and these are usually the things easiest to forget about) like napkins for example, but it would still put a damper on the party. That’s why a great tool to use in the preparation process is a party planning checklist. Unfortunately there is no one checklist that works for all kinds of parties. And fortunately there’s a very simple and reliable process in creating a checklist. This process involves items involving budget, items involving guests, items involving location, items involving refreshments, and items involving supplies.

    The first thing in your checklist should be related to your budget. Write down your budget at the top of your party planning checklist so that while creating your checklist, you will be able to see your budget and plan accordingly. This will help you correctly determine the number of people to invite, supplies, venue, etc.

    The next thing on your checklist should be items related to guests. This part of the checklist should have items like creating your guest list, purchasing invitations, having your invitations prepared, and mailing them out. You should include a date which you want all your invitations out by so that your guests will have plenty of notice to save the date in their calendars and RSVP.

    Your checklist should also have a section dedicated to your location. If you’re holding the party at your home, then this is already taken care of. But you’ll still want to have items like what kind of setup will need to be done and how far ahead of time you need to start to be ready in time for the party. If you’re booking a venue, you’ll need to have items like browsing locations and booking a location. You’ll also want a date set for the time you have your location by so that you’ll have a date and location set to put on your invitations.

    For refreshments you’ll need to figure out if you’ll be hiring catering. If so, you should have items like getting quotes from different vendors and having the food and price figured out. If you’ll be providing the food yourself, you’ll need to make a list for what to buy and what needs to be done to get the food prepared.

    Finally you’ll want to have items such as the supplies you’ll need. Also, depending on the type of part you’re planning, you’ll need to include miscellaneous things such as hiring a videographer or photographer. As long as you make a checklist, you don’t have to worry about forgetting anything. Even if you’re not sure you have considered everything, as long as you start preparing ahead of time and have your party planning checklist made out early, you’ll have plenty of time to look things over and add to your checklist.
