How to divvy up jobs at joint party.

[pongonperdy]

My dd(5) is having a joint party with another girl in her class. Her mum and I are going to meet up soon to sort out planning. Just wondering what people tend to do. Is is easiest to say one family do food and the other do party bags, plates etc.

Any tips welcome.

My friend fell out with another Mum over a joint party so you are right to think ahead!

In my mates case it was that my mate was lazy cow and left the other Mum to al the crappy jobs during the party....I dont tink one family doing food and the other the bags and plates will work...food is much more work...I think the best thing is to get your budget settled.how much you both want to spend...and then work out what food and how much money to spend on bags etc.

Then both agree as to who will do the actual going out and buying the stuff...then split the food prep...half for one Mum and half for the other.

Might be best to set aside an afternoon and go shopping togehter...or order online together.

IN my mates case, my mte did all the food and had agreed that the other Mum served tea to the adults...result was that my tiht mate provided crappy cheap food...and th other Mum was stuck behind a serving hatch in the village hall while my mate had a lovely time!
