* Organization is the key to a successful party. For an event of any size and importance, you will need to be organized to a certain degree. So unless you have a personal assistant, grab a paper and pen and start making lists.
* Set a budget. Your budget will determine what the kind of food, entertainment, and decoration that you will be able to have.
* What is the special reason for the event, is it a wedding, anniversary or birthday party, or graduation? Do you have a theme? Will the event be held inside or outside? What time of day will the event be? Will it be a chic brunch or a fun and casual afternoon BBQ? Perhaps the event calls for a romantic evening of dancing. These decisions will determine everything from menu to decor.
* Do you need some help? If it is a large affair, then you may need to consider hiring a caterer, a party organizer. If it is a smaller affairs may just ask help from a few family members or friends.
* Is the location going to be adequate? If you intend to hold the event in your backyard, is it big enough? Also, if it rains or bad weather, is your home large enough to accommodate the party inside?
* If you intend to have a large event, what are the legal considerations of holding the event on your neighborhood? Is there adequate parking available? Will noise be a problem? Check out the rules for your particular neighborhood and obtain the necessary permits.
* To avoid problems with the neighbors, consider inviting them to the party or at least thanking them for their understanding by giving them a small gift.
* Check your neighborhood's local calendar of events so that you can avoid planning your occasion on the same day , which can result in traffic and parking problems and other problems.
