3 Must Have Party Planning Apps

Party planning can be a stressful and time consuming task to say the least. From cocktails to dessert, changing guest lists and unforeseen ingredient needs are enough to drive a person crazy. Thankfully, new technology has made party planning both easy and convenient. In fact, it is as simple as a quick download with these 3 party planning apps!

Drinks Free – This easy to use app from Webworks is the mother ship of all cocktail app's. Not only does it allow users to filter for their favorite cocktail but it also breaks everything down into categories. Meaning, users can create cocktails that include beer, cocoa, soda and several other options. No bar-tending experience necessary! Another incredible feature that this app offers is a tool that allows users to find recipes by selecting their desired ingredients. The app will then display a list of cocktails available that include that ingredient. The best part of this app is that it is completely free! Which means that users have nothing to lose if they are interested in taking this app out for a test drive.

Measure Right – Online recipes are excellent for quick, DIY party hors d'oeuvre's and entrees but the recipes are typically written for a small number of guests. If a recipe website does not include a serving calculator then the host is left adjusting the serving measurements themselves. Although adjusting serving measurements may sound easy enough, it is not always as simple as doubling up on each ingredient and could potentially ruin the dish if done incorrectly. That's why Toast Games has developed this incredibly convenient app called Measure Right. Measure Right allows users to adjust serving measurements by entering the recipe servings, desired servings and ingredient amounts. Once the user enters this information, the new measurement amounts are calculated to meet the desired servings. Although this is the only app on our list that is not free, for only $0.99 it basically pays for itself in convenience.

Shopping List – It isn't rocket science that it is dangerous to go food shopping while hungry. It is equally as dangerous to begin food shopping without a shopping list. Spontaneous purchases or oversight could leave a shopper with ten cans of baked beans and no eggs for the birthday cake. That is why the developers at hensoft have created a shopping list app. This app provides an option to create a shopping list that includes the amount needed for each item and even allows users to remove items from the list after they have been added to the cart. This app is easy to use, promotes party preparation and is even easy on the wallet. Taking a few moments to download this free app could prevent party planning headaches and forgotten ingredients. Party planning doesn't have to be overwhelming. Apps and other free downloads are always available and more often than not, are offered at an extremely low cost. Taking the time to research options could be a tremendous time saver in the long run and may save money and produce fantastic results.
