Yay, you have made a decision about what event you would like to host over the next few months. As we talked about last week, lists are your friend. Make a list of everything, no matter how trivial it seems. You will feel much more relaxed and not have to think as much as you prepare for the fun.
Plan the food, the entertainment, the decorations, the guest list, the things to attend to around your house. Do I need to borrow or rent chairs, paper or real china, buffet or sit down, pot luck-cater-cook, a combination? Look through magazines for ideas for a signature dish to prepare, center pieces, decorations, or fun activities to do together with your guests.
The more you plan now and begin preparing the more fun you will have on the day of the event. Don't be afraid to do something out of the ordinary or out of your normal comfort zone. Just go for it and if something doesn't work laugh it off and trust that no one is going to notice because they are having too much fun at a party they didn't have to host.
