Matt and I are throwing a summer kick-off party on Saturday. As you would expect, I’ve been planning this party for months now which has required writing and re-writing all kinds of lists. I love lists. So for my party, I’ve written approximately 6 lists which include: Party Supplies to Buy, Groceries to Purchase, Things to Clean, House To-Do’s Before Party, Items to Cook and Items to Bake.
And yes, they are all color coded…
Now for my party inspiration board:
and of course the invite…
Can’t wait to partaaaayyy!

Cute list and inspiration board! Can't wait to see the party pics!
