[quote=Anonymous]What are tips for these party hosting questions?

What is *practical* advice for enjoying the party you are hosting? In my case, this weekend, the party is laidback enough that I am not going to do something like hire a teenager or college kid to assist. (I have been that waiter/busser at parties in high school). Please feel free to answer for a big event like that … or for the party I am hosting, which definitely doesn’t call for paid help.

How do you set up the party so it feels like guests can help themselves or feel completely welcome? I’ve been the host where it can lean badly in two opposing directions — not organized well enough that people keep asking me for stuff (that is fine, but I wish they were more welcome); or where I’m not organized well enough that people take things into their own hands, and it feels chaotic. Not a control freak here. I am actually the opposite. I just want it to go smoothly without me hovering.

I guess my two questions are related. The first is about me setting things up well enough to relax, the second is about the guests feeling like they can “make themselves at home” whether at your home, a park, or a venue.

Thanks. [/quote]
