Getting ready for an event is exciting but also overwhelming. To help alleviate some of the stress we've created a list of items that are helpful to have handy for your event.

You know it’s a good party when the dance floor causes blisters! But there can also be other minor injuries that a first aid kit can help with.
4) Aluminum foil, saran wrap, tupperware Don’t let any leftover food go to waste! Wrap it up and bring it home.
