You do not have to be perfect or SuperMom to plan a party. Check out 3 myths that prevent planning a party and learn to overcome them now.
Now who doesnโt love and enjoy a good party! I personally love to plan for a special event, DIY my decorations, and enjoy seeing the guest of honor enjoy themself after all the hard work.
For others though, this may be a completely different scenario. Many people do not plan a party because they are terrified that it will be a complete flop. Others just donโt even know where to get started.
Today Iโm here to change your mind on this and bring to light several myths that prevent planning a party. If you relate to any of these, stick around because I have the solution to all your stress. Plus there is a giveaway just for y’all below too!
3 Myths that Prevent Planning a Party
#1. The party has to be PERFECT.
We all deal with trying to reach perfection in different areas of our lives. The truth is that attaining perfection is simply impossible. None of your guests are expecting a perfect party. You are probably your biggest critic anyways.
You donโt want to wait til the last minute to get started. Take some steps to prepare and plan ahead. The party will then be as smooth as possible. It certainly doesnโt have to be perfect.
#2. The party must look just like the ones I see on Pinterest.
Donโt compare yourself to others. It will only end up in defeat and discouragement. Some of the pictures we all see on Pinterest just arenโt realistic for everyone. Some of the parties are even planned by professionals with an outstanding budget to work with.
Use the ideas you see on Pinterest and other places as inspiration. Then create the party that fits your event, budget, and schedule the best for you. My parties always consist of DIY decorations. I find a lot of fun in making them too.
#3. The party will cost a TON of money.
Parties can cost a ton of money if you let them. That is no secret. The great news is that parties donโt have to break the bank. You can find so many ideas on Pinterest and online for ways to DIY your own decorations and food.
But like I said before, donโt get overwhelmed with Pinterest. Your party doesnโt have to be as extravagant as some you may find. Use certain elements as ideas and then make your own.
You can also get ideas from decorations you may see in a local party store. Chances are you can make the exact same thing with little effort for much less the cost.
And now drum rollโฆ
