Preparing Food No Hassle

When there is a big occasion of a family or a part of a family like birthday, graduation and alike, most likely it is such a tiring job of preparing/cooking the foods aside from preparing the place. But here in USA, preparing food is just a piece of cake since catering and restaurant delivery is just a phone call away and in the scheduled event, the foods are there as early as a bird.Now, is it tiring? Is it time-hassle? No way! I just cannot imagine if the host will also be the one to cook all the cuisines unless if it's a big family or such family is hiring a cook then it would be possible. :-) But knowing folks here are also busy working, I could say it is very much convenient to have catering/delivery of foods than home-made cooking, maybe just a house specialty it would do, isn't it? What do you think?
