  1. Set the table. Since most of your cooking will occur day-of, put out items that don't need refrigeration and set the table and bar area the day or night before.
  2. Get some help. Whether you recruit a friend or decide to purchase some ready-made food to round out the menu, party guests are satisfied when they are welcomed and are in good company. Don't put unexpected pressure on yourself to do it all.
  3. Make a signature cocktail in a pitcher. Doing so will not only help you save time, but will cut back on your party spending. By keeping party drinks simple and taking time to prepare them a few hours before the party starts is a great way to save time.
