Here is an extremely simple, no expense, yet festive spin on a time saver idea in preparing to host a weekend long event.
If you do not already know, it is helpful to pre- set and stash away the different “condiments” involved before party time for the various needs throughout an event. For example, when organizing the different meals, don’t just plan ahead the meal to be served, but take one more step and organize ahead of time the dishes and utensils to be used in serving.
At our recent Birthday Beach Bash, we counted out ahead of time which plates, napkins and utensils we would need per meal per person. As usual, we bundled them into groups per meal and labeled each group with a sticky note. That way, when it was time to use them, anyone could just reach in the bucket and know what goes where and when! In honor of celebration, Brooke took one extra step further in preparation and tied each bundle with a birthday bow! The act was so simple, but transformed a strategic necessity into a birthday festive decoration all its own!
Good idea, Brooke, and thanks for your help!

It never occured to me, that packaging the paper goods as you have described,not only is it practical, but pretty indeed!!!! Amazing how you see “mundane” things, as art work!!!!
What a great idea! It really made everything so much earier once the time came to use them. Great time saving tip!
