Having a Party

Call my sister and ask if I can have the party at her place. Hehehe Actually, my house is so small that no one room is big enough to host a party in so we usually go to my moms or sisters. I will help fix the food and do what ever cleaning they need done.

Hi Dorann, Cleaning is one. Then i have to get all the tupperware i need where the food will be placed. then i choose the right motiff for the party.

That's where I get honors of taking the kids out for the day & I bribe hubby to clean the house as he does it faster than I & better. I'm too putzy and worry about details too much.

Hi, doranmwin. I will clean up first really good. And I will have everything ready for the party out. I will situate everything into order. I will make sure that everything is accounted for. I planned a Birthday Party for my son some years back and it was a simple and quick party. I had about five different things to eat. And less than 10 people that were invited. It was a fun and enjoyable party. I hope that you will enjoy your party at your house. Have fun!

Since i am alone at home and don`t/cannot go out due to my disability, i have parties at my home. I am really not a party person and it is only in the last 2 years that i have been having get togethers of my old school classmates, at my house. Since there is nobody to cook, we generally order food from outside, from a good hotel and share the bill amongst ourselves. Since there is an equal number of drinkers and non drinkers in our group usually someone from the tipplers brings the booze and those who are teetotalers do with soft fruit drinks or Coke or Pepsi.On my part iarrange for disposable plates, cups and spoons and also for the soft drinks.When the grub comes we all do self help and serve ourselves. We had this type of a party in Jan this year when 2 of our former schoolmates came , one from USA and the other from Canada and we had great fun. We are all senior citizens but young at heart and we enjoy ourselves like kids do.

Clean, clean, and clean some more. I'm a bit of a clean freak, and I hate having people over if I feel like my house is anything less than perfect. I always make sure that things make sense for my guests. I'll put out an extra roll or two of toilet paper, so that my guests don't have to find where that is should someone use the last bits of a roll. I get all the cutlery and dishes out beforehand if there's something being served. And I always try to have something nice smelling- a candle or something. I love good smells. :) Have a great party!

i dont often have guests over to that extent but clutter is a big area that i would have to take care of plus a bit more heavy duty cleaning than i do right now.

hi dorannmwin much the day way you did when we were still in a house or apt. now I am widowed and do not throw any parties not here in Gold crest . so I am partyless now.

I've never heard of a Tastefully Simple party . . . that sounds neat. Can I come over? Hee hee!! I was just looking up how to make my own Cajon and Creole seasonings! Preparing for a party . . . cleaning is definitely a priority. More than likely no one will go into our bedroom, so that's where all the clutter gets stashed - ha ha!! I like to get the bathrooms sparkling clean (somehow my mom got into my head that people can see how clean you keep your place by looking at your bathroom). The places where the guests will be, particularly the couch area and kitchen eating area, have got to be cleared . . . but places like our computer corner I don't work on as much (except to make it look "decently" cleared off). And food is definitely another priority. I like to plan out the food and how I'm going to prepare it all ahead of time so I won't go nuts in the kitchen that day. I loved how my friend would think of everything for her party except for napkins . . . I can't believe how many times she forgot to buy napkins and there were rolls of toilet paper at the table (not kidding!!).
