Small parties are wonderful
because you can create a warm, intimate atmosphere for your loved
ones with a minimum of stress. Keeping things small gives you more
time to focus on the details - and your guests. Just follow these 12
steps and you'll be ready to throw a truly special soiree for your
favorite folks.
1) Make up your guest list.
2) Set a date and time.
3) Establish the theme or style
of the party.
4) Send out invitations (by
regular mail or e-mail) or make phone calls.
5) Decide on a menu and make a
shopping list. Stick with tried and true recipes and save the
culinary experiments for another occasion. (See Serve Great Food
section for complete menu ideas.)
6) Create an outline of the party
details - from beginning to end.
7) Set a budget and stick to it.
Include the costs of invitations, decorations, food, drinks, and
party favors in your estimate.
8) Keep a party notebook with a
separate page for each party category and cross tasks off your to-do
lists as you go along.
9) For a totally stress-free
experience, hire someone to help out in the kitchen for a couple
hours on the day of the party. If your budget's tight, ask a friend.
10) Shop for decorations, favors,
and groceries.
11) Decorate and do any advance
prep work in the kitchen.
12) Put on the finishing touches
just before guests arrive. Then relax and enjoy yourself as the party proceeds.
