Frequently asked questions

What supplies do you need for a party?
It helps to think in categories so nothing slips through: food and drink (with plenty of soft and non-alcoholic options, and far more ice than you'd think), tableware (plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, kitchen roll), and decorations (balloons, banners, a tablecloth, candles or lighting). Then there's the easily-forgotten group that catches everyone out — bin bags for the clear-up, matches or a lighter for candles, serving spoons, a bottle opener, batteries, and something to play music on. Buy a bit more of the consumables (cups, ice, napkins) than you think you need, as they always run short. Working from a checklist means one shop covers everything rather than a frantic dash mid-party for forgotten essentials.
