How to Avoid the Biggest Party Planning Mistakes

Dear Rebecca,

What are the biggest party mistakes people typically make?  Is there a magic formula to planning correctly?

Just Asking

Dear Just Asking,

No one wants to sit next to a bore or attend a party and not know anyone but the host.  These two mistakes are preventable.  Always create a guest list with ultimate care.  And don’t sit two shy, quiet people next to each other; neither will initiate a conversation. 

I also find it especially offensive when a host expects his guests to cater his party or if it is to be held in a restaurant, expecting the guests to pay for their owns meals.  Very poor manners.

Always consider who your guests are, what they prefer, and provide it.  This is your magic formula.  

Most sincerely,

Rebecca
