Party Problems? Answers here!

Confused on where to start when having a Halloween party?

Problem solved!

Here are some ideas to think about:
-Do you want to serve food?
- What type?
-A sitdown meal?
-If no food, do you want snacks?
-Will there be alcohol?
-If there is alcohol, is everyone 21? (meaning do you need soda too??
-What will the entertainment be?

Some answers:
- If you want to serve food a fancy sit down meal would be have hors d'oeuvres, an appetizer, mean course, and a dessert. Plan a menu. Your other two options are catering, which can get pricy, or serving a meal family style. When it comes to an affordable budget I would recommend family style of everything. Allows for more food options, and making the food will be cheaper as well.
- If you just decide snacks finger foods are always a great choice.
- When is comes to food whether it be dinner or snacks make things that can be done ahead of time and do not require a lot of attention during the party.
- What will you be serving beer, hard alcohol, specialty cocktails?
- If there will be underage people make sure to supply soda, water, or juice.
- The entertainment could be mingling, scary movies, really good decorations, and even a pre-recorded scary music CD.

These are just some questions to get you in the planning mood. We are getting very very close to Halloween so make sure you already have your invitations sent! Make sure you are insanely prepared, even make tons of lists if you need to, because if you are not totally prepare and ready to go before and during your party you will not have fun. You will be stressed and trying to play catch up and hostess all night.

Enjoy!
