{party planning} step 1 - the party brief

One of the most common things we hear from people is something along the lines of  "I would love to host a party at home ...but organising a party is overwhelming and I just don't know where to start or how to pull it all together..."

Sound like you?

Well, over the next few months we are going to take you through our party planning process, step by step...and we think you will be pleasantly surprised... with a little forward planning, it's really not that hard!!

So, where to start?....Step 1 - The Party Brief

Whether it's organising a children's party, a baby shower or your wedding, a party brief is the foundation to any well planned party!! It gives an overview for the party you are planning...all the essential information, that you will refer back to when making decisions on the specifics and details of the party.

We've created a handy worksheet for you to print out, as well as notes on why we ask each question!! We asked our friends on facebook to share their upcoming parties for us to use as examples for this series...because, well...I know I find learning much easier when I have examples, or someone to talk me through the process!! If you have a party coming up and would like advice on a certain aspect of it, please feel free to leave a comment or email us your completed party brief!!
