The thought of planning, buying, cooking, serving and entertaining may seem a little daunting, but here are some simple suggestions:
- Accept/solicit help from your neighbors: It’s a misconception that the host has to do everything.
- Create a webpage with your food needs: Let your neighbors sign up online for what they would like to bring. This helps with food preparation, and assures you don’t have 10 turkeys and no side dishes!
- Invite guests early: This gives you time to plan and will allow your neighbors to put the event on their calendars before their days fill up.
- Plan seating: You don't need assigned seating, but ensure you have enough seats for everyone including children.
- Have name tags: Lots of people are bad with names, name tags take some of the awkwardness out of mingling.
- Plan for children: Children will need to have activities to do while the parents are socializing.
- Plan for music: Music is usually an essential part of a party atmosphere. Decide on a playlist in advance. Ask for music suggestions on the website.
