Plan your work and work your plan.This might be a cliche, but when it comes to party planning, it can make the difference between a smooth operation and a total disaster, a memorable event or one that is forgotten as soon as its over.
Say, for instance, you're in charge of organizing your best friend's baby shower. (Or bridal shower, or the dreaded party for a birthday ending with a zero. You get the picture.) What do you do first?
Make a plan, of course! First, decide on a theme; this makes planning details alot easier. What does your friend like to do? Travel? Collect Wine? Play tennis? Run naked on the field at sporting events?
Bingo! A theme is born. (To keep it clean, we'll go with tennis for this one.) Plan all the decor around tennis; use tennis balls in the flowers
