What a native Spanish speaker would actually say
This wording is clear when the English lists all the things included. It works for a celebration, a trip or a fully equipped purchase.
If the point is effort rather than extras, “hacerlo todo” may fit better. The English phrase covers both, while Spanish often names which one matters.
