Relieve Your Party Planning Stress With These Simple Ideas

By Elba Fenwick


For many, parties are a great idea but we tend to avoid inviting over a bunch of friends simply because the idea of planning for such an event has us overwhelmed. But it doesn't have to be that way. Casual get-togethers or even larger events can be easy to create if you follow a few of these simple tips.

Begin by selecting a theme, and this doesn't have to be something complicated, it simply helps you to stay focused. For instance, backyard barbecue is a theme and pasta night can be a theme, even a chili cookout theme is simple to prepare and plan. Don't feel like you have to recreate the 10-course meal from the first class dining room of the Titanic in order to have people over. There's nothing wrong with throwing together a huge batch of beef stew and inviting people over for a get-together.

After the theme has been chosen, write out a list of all of the tasks that need to be accomplished before the party starts, as well as all the items you need to purchase. Your first task will be to pick a time and date and then invite your guests. After that, you will need to think about buying food, drinks and possibly some decorative items. Organize your shopping list by store to keep yourself focused while you are out and about.

More doesn't necessarily translate to better, so don't feel like you have to offer a myriad of food and drink options. Your simple theme will help you plan an easy meal and for beverages, just stick with beer and wine or perhaps just offer a single cocktail rather than trying to make a ton of different drinks for everyone. The goal is to enjoy your friends' company and not be scrambling around fixing drinks and complicated food items.

Dessert is always a highlight of any evening, and it doesn't have to be difficult to provide your guests with something truly spectacular. For instance, chocolate pizza would be an amazing treat to offer your guests and you can order it directly from Chocolate Pizza Company. These unique chocolate pizzas are not only delectable; they even arrive at your house packed in an actual pizza box so you can create a cute presentation. Imagine your guest's surprise when you open up a pizza box to reveal a beautiful, handmade chocolate pizza.

You can also pair up the chocolate pizza with other gourmet delights from Chocolate Pizza Company. They have created unique Peanut Butter Wings, which are the perfect complement to a chocolate pizza. These wings are a delicious mix of crunchy potato chips and creamy peanut butter that are covered with either milk or dark chocolate. In addition to the wings, you can order fun items such as gourmet s'mores and chocolate covered potato chips or pretzels, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. It takes just a few minutes to order your treats, and then a big chunk of your party planning is complete.
