Party Planning: Start to Finish

A preview of Lindsey's birthday night

Party planning, and especially hosting, requires a lot of hard work and thought - not to mention creativity. As I mentioned Friday, this weekend Shayne celebrated his birthday and Lindsey celebrated hers - both with opposite events.  As always, I started planning each event by making a list of what needed done and who needed to be invited for Shayne's, and a menu, supplies, and guest list for Lindsey's.  Both nights ran pretty seamlessly but I thought I'd share the outcomes of the events this week with a Party Planning guide. Since I hosted Lindsey's party at the house, it will mostly be a breakdown of what to do as a host. Shayne's birthday was celebrated as a night out on the town but there was still some things I could've planned better that I will share. What is your favorite event you've gone to with friends/family? Did you host? And how well did the night go? If there's any questions or comments on what you'd like to hear - please leave a comment so I can incorporate your questions into each post.
