Relieve Your Party Planning Stress With These Simple Ideas

By Elba Fenwick


Most of us would love to entertain, but often the stress of planning an event keeps us from inviting friends and family over for some fun. However, party planning doesn't have to be difficult and if you utilize the following tips, it can be a snap.

Begin by selecting a theme, and this doesn't have to be something complicated, it simply helps you to stay focused. For instance, backyard barbecue is a theme and pasta night can be a theme, even a chili cookout theme is simple to prepare and plan. Don't feel like you have to recreate the 10-course meal from the first class dining room of the Titanic in order to have people over. There's nothing wrong with throwing together a huge batch of beef stew and inviting people over for a get-together.

After the theme has been chosen, write out a list of all of the tasks that need to be accomplished before the party starts, as well as all the items you need to purchase. Your first task will be to pick a time and date and then invite your guests. After that, you will need to think about buying food, drinks and possibly some decorative items. Organize your shopping list by store to keep yourself focused while you are out and about.

More doesn't necessarily translate to better, so don't feel like you have to offer a myriad of food and drink options. Your simple theme will help you plan an easy meal and for beverages, just stick with beer and wine or perhaps just offer a single cocktail rather than trying to make a ton of different drinks for everyone. The goal is to enjoy your friends' company and not be scrambling around fixing drinks and complicated food items.

People often aren't sure what to prepare for dessert, but this is part of the evening that everyone really loves so it definitely requires some attention. However, it can be easy to offer something truly unique. At Chocolate Pizza Company, customers can order handmade chocolate pizzas online and have them delivered in time for the party. These pizzas not only look and taste amazing; they also provide a great presentation for your party, as they are placed in real pizza boxes. Your guests will enjoy the surprise of lifting the pizza box to showcase a dark chocolate pizza, a white chocolate pizza or perhaps a milk chocolate pizza.

Chocolate Pizza Company offers many different varieties of chocolate pizza. The dark chocolate and milk chocolate pizzas begin by creating a "crust" that is a blend of handmade English toffee and melted chocolate. After this crust is formed, toppings such as a blend of nuts, candies or just a swirl of white chocolate are added. White chocolate pizzas are a blend of dried cranberries, slivered almonds and gourmet white chocolate. Chocolate Pizza Company also sells plenty of other unique chocolate items such as chocolate cookies, chocolate-coated potato chips, gourmet s'mores, pecan clusters and much more. You can create a flavorful chocolate buffet for your party, and every item can be ordered online and delivered straight to your front door, making this the easiest party dessert you have ever served.
