Party Planning Made Easy

This past weekend was my husband’s birthday. He was celebrating his last birthday in his youthful 20’s. To celebrate, we invited over family and a few friends for a fun dinner and a movie night at our home. With my husband traveling every other week for work, I wanted to plan a party for him, but I’m always the last minute type so I didn’t want to stress over lots of little details. This year, I was able to partner with Subway and Party City to have party planning made easy!

Ordering a Subway platter takes care of the main entree, letting me focus on the more important party details – mingling with friends and family! I called into my local Subway location and ordered a custom party platter using a variety of toppings and bread choices so there was something for everyone. A typical party platter includes fifteen 4″ sandwiches, enough to feed 5-9 guests.

To stretch the main entree further, I diced up watermelon and served chips for an easy, filling meal with no thought required.

I also took my oldest along with me to pick up some basic party supplies at Party City. We grabbed a simple table cloth, napkins, and of course balloons to celebrate!

The party menu was a big hit! I let my little boys dig in to the platter before the guests arrived, so I wouldn’t have to scramble to fill their plates while assisting my guests. This also gave me a great chance to snap a few pictures of the kids digging in!

Everyone loved being able to pick their own sandwich preferences with so many varieties to choose from. My picky middle child pulled off his pickles, but was very happy with everything else on his sandwich. The sandwiches were a big hit and we had just enough to have everyone well fed!

Here’s my husband enjoying the birthday seat and his meal. After everyone was well fed, we turned on a movie on our home theater system and everyone enjoyed watching and laughing together.
