After a decade of planning events, I've learned a few things: delegate as much as you can, always have a rain plan, you'll always need more ice, and having an event without a plan is like a bike without wheels. Some people think planning parties is a piece of cake, while others would rather do anything else.
For newbie party hosts, event planning can feel like trying to keep 500 plates spinning at different speeds, while simultaneously learning how to make a plate. Depending on who you ask, it can be thrilling or terrifying. We're here to help!
From cakes to cleanup, decor to delectable bites, we’ve rounded up the essential ingredients to pull off party perfection!
