Can’t get too much help on this topic, right? Party planning and execution can feel stressful. Loving these ideas. Getting organized is the difference between a stressful event and one you can actually enjoy.
I’ve recently planned my daughter’s wedding. Talk about a lot of planning – ooph! But three days of events all came off smoothly, for which I’m very grateful. I walk my talk on this one, for sure.
You’re amazing, Seana! My husband and I planned our own wedding, very successfully, and I’m quite amazed that we pulled it off.
I love this post! It is one of my favorite topics to organize. Thanks for sharing my post. I can’t wait to read and share the other expert posts as well. =)
It just may have been your thorough posts on this topic that inspired this month’s theme! I appreciate you sharing your content and spreading the word about the POBC!
It’s that time of year again! The holidays are around the corner. First Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and you know the rest. I’m in the early stages of preparing for Thanksgiving and hosting our family. It’s typically a large group and one of my favorite holidays. Good food, relaxed atmosphere, and great people.
So far, we’ve only done the inviting. We use our planning, shopping, menu lists from previous years, so it makes the process easier. Nothing is difficult. It just takes time and pacing. The main thing to remember is the why. It’s not about the food. It’s certainly not about stressing. It’s about bringing together all the people we love to be together, catch up, and enjoy each other’s company.
I love reading all the tips people shared here. Thank you for including mine.
You are so right – it’s all about being with people we love. They don’t care whether we work our buns off to create the perfect meal with the perfect table setting – they’re just happy to be together.
