Planning a New Year party? Do you want to enjoy your own party without the stress? Here is the list of things you can do to avoid stress involved in planning a party. Whereas you cannot be stress free at all but some of the tips given below will try and give minimum stress which can be enjoyed by the guests as well as the host.
1) Keep a casual party: The main problem in keep a formal attire is that the host has no time to dress herself/himself and since they have to make last minute decisions they do not find time to dress properly. To avoid keep a casual dress code for your party which will help you and guests more time to enjoy the party and will keep you stress free.
2) Food: Food is the other main cause of stress as the host is always worried what the guests will like and what not and what foods to include and what not. For this hire a caterer and plan along with him/her and you can rest assured that everything will be perfect and you can enjoy the party. Even though a caterer is a good idea it may be a bit expensive but then they can keep you stress free. The other thing you can do is assign your friends to arrange pot luck and tell them what dishes they should get so that there are no similar dishes.
As regards food if you are not very sure of the guests food habits and you do not want to spend money on the caterers you can opt for just snacks and drinks. Since most of the New Year eves party do not start before 9.00 or 10.00PM it will be assumed that most of the guests will have dinner at home and then come. But you will need to mention in your invitations that only the snacks and drinks will be served so that the guests are ready for this.
The above few things will cut your stress levels to half and you can enjoy yourself at your own party.
