You are not a perfect person to organise a party. You forget about many things. You have too many ideas or no idea how to amuse your guests. You get confused very easily and in the middle of preparations you are too tired to continue. Even if you are a good cook, under pressure you burn, overcook or undercook food and you never ask anybody to help you either. That’s why you have problems even with a five-people party.
You should write down all your ideas before you start preparations. Ask your friends to tell you what they like and which things are unneccessary during your party. If there are going to be a lot of people, ask somebody to help you with cooking and decorations. Take some time and don’t rush.

Food, decorations, leisure for 10, 20, 40 people?
No problem for you. You know perfectly how to organise your time and work. You’d always prepare a plan of what you want to do before the preparation. If you don’t have enough time or you just know that some things are too difficult for you, you ask somebody to help you. You always choose people who understand you so you rarely have any problems.

You are the Boss. If you have to do something big, you ask a big number of people to help you. That’s fantastic because it means you are always on time. If somebody doesn’t feel like helping, you promise profits (you’d pay if you had enough money). Yeah, everything’s cool but…you are bossy and people feel as if they were your slaves. During preprations you lose helpers and you don’t care. But you should because they’re your friends.
You have to start working as well. Understand that everybody can be tired and people have their own ways of doing things. It’s not your company but party!
