1. Occasion for the Event:
Is it a birthday party or intimate gathering? Determining the occasion will help decide important factors such as guest list, mood and budget.
2. Choose a theme:

3. Season:
Weather and seasonal trends play a big role in party preparation, especially when planning in advance.
4. Color Scheme:
Choosing colors to work into your theme will tie all the loose ends together making your party looked polished and well thought out.
5. Food & Drink:
This category is largely determined by whether your party is simple or festive, a cocktail party, buffet or a seated dinner. Be sure to plan accordingly.
