I hosted my first family get together at my new house!

I have had two birthday parties at my home for my twins. Their first birthday party and their second. My home is about 1900 sq ft and I was able to pull it off because I have a big family room and big backyard. So, guests were able to roam around the family room, living room and backyard. I think it is fun having guests over, we just order pizza or BBQ~

Well, I think hosting a party is always fun.I have done it a zillions of time. However,for the first time, I was anxious. I am a food fanatic. Only thing I was worried about was the 'Ghee-roasted-beef',which was about to be finished without my eating that. That was a big party,so we didn't have dinner all together. Guests had first and then hosts. I mean guests had all and hosts had none. :( It was a success though. A lesson too, keep food in excess.

woww... that's great... it is always nice when you can organised a family reunion in your house... especially a new house... you must be very happy especially it turns out to be a success... i never organise a family reunion in my house yet as we live far apart... i live in australia and my parents and family live in my home country, Indonesia... so it is a bit hard to do that... i would like to do that one day though when all my family members come here for a holiday... take care and have a nice day...

Hello there, I like to organize parties or get-together events occasionally. So there are at least 4 or 5 big events a year. The next one will be in 2 months time as we want to warm up the new off-plan house we bought 10 months ago. I like to see friends and relatives around to have good food and drink, have fun together. The first time I hosted a party at my house was 5 years ago, obviously it was a great success. LOL

congratulations! your house party sounds really great! and that you had so much fun! i had been hosting a lot of house parties since i graduated college. i was the eldest child in the family so after graduating they used to ask me to arrange family parties and events. anyway they said they trust me on this matter. so i did very well as i could. and luckily i think all of the parties i held were good. everyone had fun, they were very satisfied with the food and the entertainments. good we had skills like this!

now that you have an experience you can go ahead with many more celebrations in days to come. it is definitely easier to visit an invitation , comment on the things good or bad, but when you organise something you gain a lot, and you are richer. as in this celebration. the satisfaction that you get, makes you learn many a new thing and earn appreciation from the invitees.

thats great!! yeah i had hosted one in my new home..its when we had our house blessed/house warming rights..weve been living here for atleast 2 months and a half i guess..and it turned out alright even though we still new in the neighborhood... i made a lot of friends during the event..

That was nice of you to have the family get together at your house for father's day. I know it can be panicking for you have to make everything presentable for the guests. It sounds like everything went good and you had fun that is the main thing. I have had a get together at my place a couple of times but it wasn't for family but my friends I went to high school with and to get everything presentable was easy for all I really had to do was a touch up for I keep up w/ all my cleaning everyday. But the time was great w/ my friends and I hope to do it again sometime.
