List's, list's, list's!!

Another important rule to having a good party is to organised - and this means making lists.
Write down everything - you're much less likely to forget anything. It's also handy just for collecting ideas to sort through later. I tend to start with a basic list which then has sub lists coming off it, for example:

1) Food
- savoury
=chicken nuggets, bread sticks and dips [homous, guacamole], mini pizza's
- sweet
= fruit, fairy cakes, jelly
-drinks
= fruit juice [apple, orange]
2) Games
3)Party Bags

... So the list gets more precise as it develops into it's sub headings.
