Far out, man. There's a lot to do...try not to freak out.

A photo that looks like t has been rippeed in half  On the left side it has a picture of an older woman Jacqueline Steincamp holding up her book on Party Planning. It is captioned with the words "How it Started". On the right hand side are two young women, the podcast hosts, Jaimee Poipoi and Maria Tanner, dressed in aprons and holding what looks to be a large pavlova. That image is captioned "How it's going"

There's the flowers, organising the seating, polishing the serving trays, oh, and making the food...and don't forget to prep the powder room, eh?

Luckily everything you need to know is in Jacqueline's book. Just keep it real and don't get hung up on the saucy puffs!

A picture of a page taken from a 70s party planning book, it describes how to stage a cocktail party and discusses food and appropriate dress. The image is bordered with seventies colours and is captioned "Schedules are whatevs!"
