[quote=Anonymous]We’ve done it. I think ours was the Sunday after the thanksgiving weekend and was from 1-4 or 2-5pm. We hired a babysitter to hang with kids in the basement- we put a movie on and got some simple crafts for the kids. Upstairs we had food and drinks for adults but no entertainment. We got much of the food from Costco. The lull was right at the start- ask your closest friends to come right at the beginning. Then it was pretty busy the rest of the time. We talked about hiring a bartender/helper but didn’t- that would have been nice to have someone else helping manage the food replenishment. But friends helped. And no one really cares of something is running low, they’ll just eat something else. I say do it- everyone appreciates having a party to go to and won’t be judging you ok the specifics. Our house isn’t huge and we kept some people off the guest list but I wish we hadn’t. An open house can handle a lot of people. [/quote]
