The failure mode is a host who spends the evening cooking. This builds a menu around things that are made ahead or unattended, checks what people cannot eat before the shopping rather than at the table, and plans the timing backwards from when everybody sits down.
Free on any plan. You will see this list again in the app, and nothing is created until you press install.
Most of it cooked before anybody arrives.
Make-ahead, and the dietary question asked early.
One thing at the last minute, not three.
The failure mode is a host who spends the evening cooking. One thing needing attention at the last minute is manageable; three is an evening spent listening to your own party from the kitchen.\n\nAsk about dietary requirements before the shopping. Finding out at the table is a bad moment for everybody.
Venue, date and guests first, then the running order that makes the day work.
Invitations out early, the food and the games decided, and a plan for the two hours themselves.
Presents, food and the people questions, spread over eight weeks instead of one.
Dated around how the parent actually feels, with the guest list agreed with them first.
It takes one press. Everything it creates is tagged, so if it turns out not to suit you, it is easy to find and remove together.
