Stress-Free Party Tips:

The more you can get ready beforehand, the more time you will have to enjoy yourself during the party.

Shop for all non-perishable food ingredients and other supplies as soon as you can. The day before the party shop for all your fresh ingredients and last minute items.

Make sure you have enough ice.

Set up the linens, tablecloths, the serving utensils, napkins, and arrange centerpieces, flowers, and candles. Set up the bar with glasses, ice bucket, corkscrews, and cocktail napkins the morning of the party.

Make sure there is soap, towels, and toilet paper in the bathrooms and add a votive candle or two.

Start assembling and preparing the food. If things will be served warm or require any cooking, have them ready to go in their baking dishes, so you can get all the prep dishes washed.

Empty all garbage cans. Place clean-up rags where they are easily accessible.

Once the house is in order and ready, you can get yourself ready.

Set out any serving dishes for food to come and put out any hot pads that will be required.

Put out any food that you can.

Once most guests have arrived, put out the rest of the food and let guests help themselves.

The PartyCharlie Summer Party Series... The Wild, Wild West Party!

Howdy partners... The PartyCharlie Summer Party Series continues with... A Wild, Wild, West Party! Roll out the barbecue, and get your banjo a pickin', we're gonna have a foot-stompin' time tonight!

An outdoor Wild, Wild West Party is the perfect way to wrangle up all your favorite dudes, and dudettes, for an outrageous event that will have them howlin' at the moon!

All you need to throw an amazing Wild, Wild, West Party is your imagination! Send out invitations that look like wanted posters... Break out some Bluegrass music, or if you have the budget, hire a Bluegrass band... Decorations can be as simple as western themed posters, to a full-out western saloon, complete with swinging doors, and an outdoor hitching post!

When I want to take a Wild, Wild, West Party to the next level, I use a company called Old West Old Fashioned Soda.

They sell Handcrafted Old Fashioned Soda made from only "Cane Sugar"and Pure Vanilla Extract. They have five great flavors to choose from "Good Old Root Beer", "Sassy Sarsaparilla", "Black Bart's Black Cherry","OMG Orange Cream" (taste like a 50/50 Bar), and "Li'l Piece Of Heaven Vanilla Cream". Their soda is made the old fashioned way before the big soda companies began to mass produce soda. They can add ice cream to any of their soda to make a tasty ice cream float.














All your guests will be talking about the soda they had from the Old Fashioned Soda Wagon!
