could hosting a party be stressful?

It is really stressful to host a party when you are doing everything. But if you know how to delegate? it is very stress free the more if you have the right budget for it. One thing could stress us when we have party is the budget. If we have a limited budget and we want a fancy preparation to satisfy our guests, this would really stressed us out. One thing I learned on this event is to utilize the help of your family and friends. Assigned or delegate the work to somebody and you, as a host will just be the overseer or the manager of the event. hahaha.. Create a committee within your family and friends circle. Decoration committee,food committee,transportation, etc. You know the capabilities of your family and friends so, assigned them to the area where they are good at that. Am sure they will be happy to be involved. what you are going to do is just provide them with snacks while doing the assigned task and gas budget for running errands. You must be there to follow up and give your suggestions of what you would want to happen. That is very effective.. we have done that too. cheers!!!

It could be stressful depending on how many people are coming, how elaborate the party is, who are coming and how much effort the host or hostess is giving to setting it all up. I don't host a lot of parties... they're more family dinners and such but it still got stressful because I want everything to be just right and how I want it. Now I have learned the secret to not being so stressed out... to know that in case something does not go right, your guests are your loved ones who will understand and won't care since the main reason for the get-together is to get together and have a good time no matter what.

I think it depends on the party. If you are hosting a fancy dinner party, the stress level can rise but hosting what I call casual get togethers are a breeze. As a matter of fact, I'm hosting one tomorrow for the Superbowl. I've hosted one for the past 7 years and never stress out about it. There will be about 30 poeple milling in and out of the house throughout the course of the day and night. each year more want to come so I guess I am doing something right. LOL

Hi! yes I think preparing party is stressful and very tiring. I have organized a party before in my old office. it was tiring. But after the party I was so happy because it turned out very well. have fun

Not only will the preparations of a party stress and tire you out but also the whole time of the party, you are constantly making sure everything is going as planned and making sure all your guests are happy! I give so much credit for people that do party planning for a living! They must have lots of stress, because not only do they need to make sure things go as planned, but they also have to make sure the people that hired them think they are doing a good job so that they get paid for what they did. Wheew that would be too much work for me!!

Hosting a party or dinner is really stressful. You have to devote your mental and physical labor to get it well prepared. Usually the process is what hold you activated and energetic until kind compliments are given by the guests. When dishes are cleaned, and room made up, you feel the fatigue with sore throat and painful back. If lucky enough, you need at least some days to recover. However exhaused, you feel rewarded for the execution of the event, and for the hospitality shown to the guests. That makes the whole lot worthwhile. Life is rounds and rounds of such incidents, which links people together and make ourselves contributors in various communities.

yes, it was for us.we had thrown a birthday party for my kids last year...oct 25 to be exact.imagine the preparations we have been through...we booked for the clowns, we bought the party needs down to the cars paper plates.(it was a themed party, of course), the invitations, the tarps, the balloon arrangements,the party giveaways, lootbags and prizes for each games, the bubble machines and all the works....that includes the cootton candy man and the ice cream cart...plus the foods and drinks. we did everything..it was tedious and hard but it was a success!the party was so much fun, even the adults enjoyed the party.after that, my wife and I got sick..due to stress.
