Party Checklist ideas ->

There are many things to do in preparation for any party and a party checklist is just the right organizational tool for this job. First prioritize the individual categories and place them on the list in order of preparation time required. Some things on the list will not be prepared but rather placed on the list by the amount of advance notice required. Time needed to ship things will also be used for this purpose.

For large and complicated plans there needs to be more than just one party checklist. An entire wedding planner/loose leaf notebook is needed for a wedding but individual party checklists can be made up for individual tasks and contracted individuals. For instance a checklist for floral arrangement would include entries for initial meeting with florist; show floral brochures to party planner; pre-pay one half; and supervise floral decoration of church. Parts of this list would even be delegated to someone else who has time to oversee the church decoration.

An individual party checklist is needed for the invitations to any large party. A family reunion can be a very complex party to organize. Large families with members in many different locations may require a team effort just to assemble a guest list. The party checklist is going to be a series of checklists in this case. The invitation checklist will include: assemble addresses; meet with printer; pick up invitations; proofread invitations; address invitations; and mail invitations.

Of course simpler parties require a less extensive list. Nevertheless even a child's birthday party requires the fundamental use of a simple party checklist in order to plan with the ease that makes a smooth progression of tasks. The list is shorter but woe be to the hostess who forgets to place "pick up cake" on it!
