There can be no doubt that being known in a locality as the best party thrower in town is sometimes a bit of a headache. The word goes out that a party is planned and all sorts of extra folk think they should be on the invitee list. There has to be a good balance in the make up of the guest list – not too many pushy ‘me, me, me’ types or on the other hand, not many shrinking violets – although they do have their uses when the other side take up rather too much of the hostess’s time.
Once the food and drink side of things are organised – and this is easily arranged, by having a list of as many choices as possible and then just tick boxing the items for that particular party.
The balloons and festive ‘hardware’ are easily obtainable these days with some fantastic online sites. This is especially important for the more grown up kiddies out there.
