1. Create excellence~
For a fabulous party every time, try the following...
~Get a Great Head Start~
Layer your ideas into conceptually potent concepts that "gets them" as soon as your guests walk in your front door. Create a "head turner"... that's the goal here.
~Stay Away From Time Restrictors~
Time is your friend that you have on your side and is restricted. It's the one thing you really need to get everything organized and set up, to "win" in the end.
2. Get Your Guests Well Fed & Hydrated~
This is a fill it up, leave it in, great food and libation buffet spread.. laid out like no tomorrow.
~Skip the Tools~
Serve finger foods and make a "GREEN" move. Your guests will have one less thing to keep up with, clean up will be easier, which means after your party... everyday life will be back to normal quicker.
~Cut Back On Alcohol~
Serve beer and wine. Again... make life simpler.
~Don't Overdo It~
Appertif and coffee for dessert. Or, choose one or two simple, easy to serve desserts. Simple is as simple does.
3. Embrace Your Authenticity - Incorporate It Into Your Party~
It's a added attraction, no-brainer to add pieces of "you"...
~Incorporate Ambiance Lights~
Add lowlights and highlights, lighting-wise, accordingly. Both types of lights, buffered together, can seriously add drama to a room.
~Allow Just One Color~
Monotone your party theme color to the max. Go all "neutral"...
all greige, all cream, all black. It's up to you. Rock the anti-color.
~ Create a Script-Type Treatment~
Why? The reason why you create a "treatment" is to flush out your thoughts and ideas... from start of the party to finish. What will guests hear, see, taste, feel, and smell? Your written out "treatment" explains it.

Guests want a naturally fun, great party experience.
~Consider the "Upscale Picnic"~

5. Minimize, Minimize, Minimize~

I do this... I write to help to create to opportunities for all who choose to pursue their passion to have parties almost irregardless regard to economic constraints.
I think if we keep talking about the cost of parties (I write blog posts, you write comments), together, maybe we can break down some of the party industry's price barriers and shame some of the people who've taken your money and delivered a poor quality product right into growing a conscious and treating you right (nice thought, huh?).
Opportunities to be inspired about parties are everywhere. Yet, people looking out for your wallet are few and far between. My goal is to inspire you, causing you to question the way things are that have been the status quo for too long. When we stand together and speak up, we can be a powerful force.
Let's keep the conversation of change going. Because in the sea of everyone talking, one voice is a whisper... several voices are a scream.
