      Stress-free party planning 101:

• Variety is the key! Make sure you are going all out with crackers, cheese, etc. instead of the regular pizzas and burgers.
• Food allergy mishaps are pretty common, so make sure you know every guest’s food preference when they RSVP.
• Have a DIY food counter (something like a make-your-own-sandwich thing) for the adults to have some fun.
• Make the food as uncomplicated as possible. Finger foods are convenient as they do not entail a lot of cleaning up for later.
• Cook in moderation!

Serve your ordinary party drink in an extraordinary manner:

• Freeze edible flowers and use them in punch bowls while serving.
• If you have organised a theme party, freeze items that you think go with the theme.
• Serve the drinks in teacups with saucers, funny milkshake cups, etc. instead of the regular ones!
• Decorate the drinks with artsy, colourful straws to make them look vibrant.
