Hosting is a group sport
When one person carries every party detail, stress spikes. A shared party planning checklist lets co-hosts claim food runs, playlist setup, and pickup tasks.

Before-party vs during-party sections
Separate invites and shopping from day-of setup and cleanup. Guests may arrive while you're still finishing — visible checkoffs keep helpers useful.
Birthdays, showers, and casual hangs
The same pattern scales. Start from a birthday or baby shower template, or generate a list with ⌘K for themed parties.
Don't skip teardown
Add a cleanup section before the party starts. Assign bags, leftovers, and returns so the night doesn't end with one exhausted host.
