Every party planner makes mistakes. But some can ruin the vibe before it even starts.
The most common mistakes that turn excitement into stress:
- Forgetting key supplies
- Overspending on unnecessary items
- Miscommunication with friends or vendors
- Leaving tasks to the last minute
The Most Common Pitfalls
The biggest mistakes aren't about creativity or style—they're about organisation:
- Running out of essential items because you didn't track orders
- Overspending because you didn't monitor your budget in real-time
