31 Days of Party Planning {Day 9: Help!}

What a wonderful time I’m having writing my series.  I have to say it is a bit of a challenge to write my thoughts in a cohesive manner but I’m trying my best and I hope my series is helping!  Please come back often and check out the rest of the series.  Remember to go to my 31 Days of Party Planning to catch up on all the latest bits!

/Today I thought I’d use this moment to remind you ask for help!  I am the worst at this.  I only do this for one reason -to control everything.  I know that sounds bad but that’s how I am.  I don’t mean to control everything, it’s just that I have a certain vision when it comes to decorating a party.  No one knows what I’m thinking but me.  I don’t expect anyone too.  So that’s why I try to control my parties.  I’m pretty good in other areas.  I’m a go with the flow type of gal.  But parties… parties I just feel that I need to do things just so.  If not then it’s not… perfect. But my parties are never perfect.  I have to learn to live with that.  So I urge you, please don’t do what I do!  It causes unnecessary stress.  I have learned to ask for help over the years and to accept help when I’m offered.  It’s something I struggle with but I am getting better! 🙂

/Now ask yourself what will you need help with?  Your level of help depends on the type of party you’re having.  If you’re going to a venue most likely they’ll have staff trained to assist with your needs.  But if you are having the party in your home you may need help with the set up and clean up of the party itself.  You will also need help with decorating, crowd control, games and activity station, food service, music and so on..  You can ask your family and close friends to help or even the parents of the children attending the party.  It really depends on your budget (for venues) and comfort level.
