[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you’ve convinced me to try harder. I tend to feel overwhelmed and then default to not hosting and get pizza with my immediate family. I have a handful of good recipes. I should use them.[/quote]

Hosting is stressful. The trick is to persist despite the stress. You do it several times and you will figure out how to do it more efficiently.

The only trick to hosting is that you stay confident in the evening you are orchestrating.  Ample food and drinks, comfortable seating, pleasant and clean space, some nice ice-breakers (or activities) and having a flow to the party is the key. If your guests feel welcome by you and you are attentive to them, your hosting will be a success.

If you are a hosting newbie - have an end time to the party. Shorter parties are more enjoyable to many people and easier to host. For example, it is a-ok to invite people over  for just cocktails and appetizers from  5 pm - 7 pm, before you all go out together for a movie or a play or dinner.
