Hi Laura! You are SO smart to start thinking about the party ahead of time! If you do a few things ahead of time, you'll be able to be a guest at your party!

I have LOTS of ideas for you, but it would really help narrow down the suggestions if you could let us know:
1. what is (or are) your husband's very favorite meats, veggies, and desserts. You know, does he just devour a garlicky pasta or is a big roast beef his deal?
2. do you have family and/or friends with space in their freezer to store some do-ahead food?
3. do you have TIME to do some cooking ahead of time - an hour here and there while he's at work or golfing.....?

Give us some hints and I'm sure you'll get some great advice! I love this sort of challenge!
