When ever I am planning a event I love to plan ahead. I love to get my self organized so I can figure out all the details when it comes to the decor and yummy food.
Here's a time line I like to follow:
2 weeks
- Figure out my guest list and confirm
- Decide what type of menu
- Decide your decor and colors
- Make a to do shopping list
1 week
- Finalize shopping list
- Try a mock up (set up your table and see if it looks how you imagined)
Few Days Before
- Compete food shopping
Day before
- Set up table and decor
- Prep your foods
Few hours before dinner
-
Check table setting -
Prepare finger foods
45 mins to 30 mins
-
Reheat appetizers -
light any candles -
Serve drinks and appetizers as guest arrive -
Reheat main meal
This easy time line helps me every time, it keeps me on task and allows me to enjoy my guest. I hope it can help you as well.
