Party Planning

I'm planning a party.  Actually, I'm planning two parties.

What's the occasion? Well, a book I'm writing launches in September so I'm planning a book launch party for September and the another in October.

Why two book launch parties? Well, I'm having one here - where I live - where I'll invite friends, colleagues, and clients (past and present).  That will be the September party.  The October party will be in the town I was born and raised in.  I'm not a fan of the place, but I have a lot of friends and family who still live there.  Plus, I'm doing a workshop there in October.  I thought it would be a good idea to maximize my time there by not only doing the workshop but also have a launch party.

So, I have a lot to plan for.  I have location, food, decorations, and even invites to plan out.  While some may not think this is a big deal, it is for me.  I have never planned a party (I'm not a big fan of social events), and to be planning two at once is quite the interesting experience.  I'm keeping the parties minimal to decrease the chances of disaster, but that doesn't mean I still don't have opportunities to profound failure.

I'll definitely keep you updated on the party planning, but I admit it is going to be hit and miss because I'm still working on the book.  Amazing how fast it is happening.

One thing for sure, there will be plenty of cupcakes.

Happy Wednesday!
