These definitely seem be things we can do at home, but let’s be honest here, how much time really goes into planning such a party?
"Give yourself two weeks from the moment you decide to throw a party, and then immediately write yourself a timeline. Know what you can do ahead of time and then integrate that prep into your daily routines, like picking up ingredients for your meal during your regular Sunday farmers' market excursion. Start a Pinterest board to collect your ideas and organize your inventory. Don’t feel like you have to do all the work yourself: Share your Pinterest board with your friends and ask for their input, or invite the crew over for a craft night. You’ll be able to knock out all the décor details over Thai takeout and good conversation."
