How to Throw an Awesome Party When Short on Time

Throwing a party can be time-consuming and require lots of effort. You need to get the decorations, budget, grocery list, and invites together to ensure everything runs smoothly.

However, I have been too exhausted with my newborn and just returned to work to find the time to plan my husband’s graduation party. But bailing out was not an option because I am very proud of him and wanted to celebrate him graduating with his BS in CyberSecurity.

She quickly with a one day turn around come up with…

The theme of the party– tailgate sports party. My husband is a San Francisco fan, so that was a perfect fit.
The invitations to send out to the guest.

She created a menu because I really didn’t have the time to think of quick meals to make within my budget. I didn’t make everything on the list, but it was good to have options.

She gave me a recipe for the items I wasn’t too comfortable making such as the pulled pork, bean dip, and coleslaw which was AMAZING! It was great because all I had to do was pick up the items from the store and cook. No thinking necessary.
