The arrival of Spring brings with it many reasons to celebrate, and there’s no better way than by opening your home to family and friends. Whether it’s a dessert party after a spring recital, a Mother-Daughter tea in honor of Mother’s Day, or a brunch after the Saturday morning game, you can create great memories with the people you care about by following a few simple tips:
Budget – If budget is a concern, keep it simple and keep it small - save the fancy food and large guest lists for some other time. Being part of an intimate gathering of 8-10 people will make your guests feel extra special, and provide lots of opportunities for making real connections.
If you don’t have enough plates, cups, or tableware to serve your guests, there are some disposable versions that are quite suitable that have the added bonus of providing quick and easy cleanup. I prefer the clear plastic style – it’s sturdy, you can buy it in bulk at your local shopping club or party goods store, and it will blend nicely with any color scheme you bring in through napkins, tablecloths, and centerpieces.
Creating a memorable event doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, and doesn’t have to take a lot of time. With a little advance planning, you will be able to relax and have fun – and if you’re having fun, your guests will, too.
