very now and then there’s an occasion where you need to throw a party and there’s no escaping it. From birthday parties to backyard barbeques, parties are indeed inevitable. And organizing one can take quiet a toll with all the planning and preparation that needs to be done.

If you are a serial party organizer, here’s a life saver for you – a handy list of tips and tricks that will help you save time, get organized and carry out your parties in ease and style.

Use Checklist

If you end up running errands at the last minute your party won’t be as much fun. Have your checklist ready with to-do items mentioned in the order of priority. There are plenty of apps, both paid and free available that can help you with pre-designed and customized checklists. Whether it is buying stuff for the party or marinating food or chilling wine, everything can be on the checklist.

Party Invites

If the party you are planning is not as formal as a wedding or a party for some really special occasion, it is totally okay to send out digital invites on email or smart phone instant messenger. You are can skip making a dozen phone calls. Just be sure if you have sent out group invites, you send out personalized invites also. A group invite is very impersonal and would mostly mean nothing to anyone.
