Set Up

Listen to the Entire Lesson

Setting up for a party can be time consuming and sometimes expensive. Make sure you plan ahead and set up early if you can. How much you decorate depends on how much you want to spend. If you decide to reserve a party room they typically will decorate and even cater the party, which will add to the cost.

Here are some questions commonly used when setting up for a party.

"Should we reserve a room?"
"Should we get there early to decorate?"
"Should we buy decorations?"
"Should we have the party catered?"

If you are asked any of these questions, here are ways that you could respond.

"If we reserve a room we can have them decorate for us."
"Let's just have the party here at home to save money."

"Yes if we get there early we can decorate and be done with it."
"Not really, we can decorate anytime."

"Yes we should go out and buy lots of decorations."
"We can just use stuff we have around here. We can just make a couple signs."

"Having it catered would be great! Then we do not have to cook."
"Catering is too expensive. Let's just cook the food ourselves."
