It takes a few people to help plan it all out. First person should be in charge of inviting people. They should make a list of people to invite and make the invitations.

This peron should be keep track of number of heads coming to the party.
It makes a difference when you know how mnay people are coming to the party when buying food, drinks and entertainment. The second person should be in charge of the food. When numbers of heads are counted then you know how much to buy. You can make your own snacks and the main course. If you do not have time or choose not to make anything then you can get a catering service to bring the food . Catering services are great if you have some money. They make it easy to just go on planning the party and not worrying what to make to eat for the guests.

The popular stores to go for this stuff is Walmart, Toys R Us, Kmart, and KB Toys. If you are on a tight budget then you can go to the dollar stores, Family Tree or Family Dollar. They have everything there that you will need for only a buck.
If you have more people to help then it is better. They can help do something. If you do not have many people to help then it is ok. It is hard to plan a party with alot of of people coming. If you want to do a simple party then my suggestion would be to just order a cake and get some paper plates, forks, spoons and candles. If you do not have many people coming then just buy a few bags or chips, nuts and make small sandwiches. This would be fine.
When you get the responses from people that are coming or not then you order the food. By the number of heads coming you can know how much you will need to spend.
