When it comes to planning a party, one of the most important things to check off your list right off the bat is picking out the theme! The theme dictates what you are going to buy and make for the big occasion. You want everyone to have a great time and enjoy themselves without breaking the bank. Here are some theme ideas for your next party!

Once you have the theme, you can think of what food and decorations you want. These can be as simple or extravagant as you wish. If you are a person who likes every detail to be planned out, make sure you start ahead of time. This will prevent last minute, frantic trips to the store.
When picking out food, there are multiple options on the table. If there are a lot of 
people coming, you could have someone cater. This would eliminate the sometimes burdensome task of cooking. All you need is a central location to put the catered meal! If your party projects to be fairly small, you could cook and provide everything yourself. This would put more pressure on you but would show that you put a lot of time in having company over. Another option is a good, old fashioned pitch-in! This means that everyone attending would bring some type of dish. Try to touch base with attendees ahead of time to make sure there will be enough substantial food.
When figuring out what to have for decorations, there are many online resources that can help. A simple Google or YouTube search will lead to tips and tricks from party planners that are a big help. Be sure to keep in mind the small, decorative details as well. Items like themed cocktail stirrers are unique and usually are a big hit with guests. In the end, all of the hard work and preparation will be well worth it when you see everyone having a great time!
