Party Tools
To help you in your party planning I have created a number of shopping lists for food and liquor suggestions, a drink menu that you can customize, and music lists to offer suggestions on what to play at your party.
You can also use this handy Planning Checklist tool that will help you map out a prep schedule for your big day. It's simple to use. Just enter your party date and a printable task list is created for you.

For those that are on a budget I have toned down my big shopping list. The full list is still there, but I’ve crossed out the nonessential items; that way if you end up with a little extra cash you can splurge on a few of those extras. |

The following list contains the items you will need for every party. You may not be able to afford all the items at once. Look through the list and pick out the must have items first. |

There really is no way to know what party music everyone will be in the mood for. You just need to trust your instincts for what your friends will like. A good party mix is something that comes to life through trial and error. Try to get at least seven hours of your best songs onto your party playlist for diversity. Variety is the spice of a party. |

When looking for music for a wine party you’ll want to class it up a little. You don’t want the music to dominate the party. The music is there to set the tone.

I have a short list of holiday songs that are cool enough to stand up against your party list. Stay away from emotional classics. I lean toward the hip songs from the sixties. |
