When planning your party becomes a pain in the neck, of course you know that no one is probably going to give you a prize for hanging in there and dealing with all that planning it can entail.
Don't stress out and feel like you're so annoyed and "over it" you practically want to pull your hair out.
Cater-Hater has four strategies to help you wade through the process.
Read on...
1 Create New Style Habits - to ensure that you don't get complacent and basically throw the same party every year. Careful... don't bore your guests.
2 When You Get Stuck Trying to Create a New Idea - take some time to "mentally stretch" to take a break, but not for too long. Go for a walk and change your scenery to inspire some fresh thoughts and ideas. Unless you're planning a party at the last minute (No, not you! You'd never be guilty of doing that!), be careful! Go slow enough in your party planning thought process to become effective. With a clear mind and a new outlook you'll be surprised what you'll come up with.
3 Allow Yourself to Feel - this is the time to feel those very real and raw emotions. Then "reset" and regroup. Deny tenseness from getting a tight grip on your plans. Hang loose.
4 Workout - your party pain in the neck plans like an Olympic gymnast; thorough, concise, and perfected. New party planning moves are where your strengths lie. With every idea and thought you raise and examine, never lose sight of that. You can do this.

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.
