Relieve Your Party Planning Stress With These Simple Ideas

By Elba Fenwick


If you love the idea of hosting a party but hesitate to actually follow through because you stress out about planning, you aren't alone. Planning a casual party for friends or family doesn't have to be a difficult task, however, and the following party planning tricks can make it easy.

It often helps to select a party theme, as this will help you come up with some great ideas for both food and dcor. Themes can be very simple, such as a taco night or perhaps an Italian feast. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on ornate decorations and create a complicated gourmet meal. These are your friends and family, they want to simply come over and enjoy themselves and relax. Just select foods that you know everyone will enjoy.

Once you have a simple theme, choose a date and send out an email invitation or just call friends and let them know that you are planning a casual party. Then begin writing out a menu and a list of items that you need to purchase for the party. Organize the list by store and then plan out a shopping route that saves time.

Often, we try too hard to provide a ton of options. Sticking with a simple theme makes dinner planning easy, but this also applies for drinks. Consider offering just wine, beer and soda. If you wish to offer cocktails, either prepare one special cocktail for the group or set up an open bar where people can mix their own drinks. After all, you don't want to spend all of your time mixing drinks, you want to relax and enjoy time with your guests.

One area you definitely don't want to neglect is the dessert time, but you don't have to spend hours baking. Simply head online and order a few chocolate pizzas. These gourmet chocolate treats are sure to please all of your guests, and they are as attractive as they are delicious. At Chocolate Pizza Company, each of their specialty chocolate pizzas are handmade using the best ingredients. After creation, the pizzas are wrapped in cellophane and packed in genuine pizza boxes and then shipped off to customers.

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.
