Be specific
If you are asking your family and friends for help, be specific as possible. Often times, our loved ones “Just want to help” and will over step their boundaries which can actually hurt instead of help!

Knowing the types of guests you’ll have at your event is very important.b. Have different activities suitable for the wide range of guests that will be at your event
(i.e games for the kids, cards, Scattergories, Taboo, movies)
Know your limits
Social media will have you believing that hosting a 50 person event takes a few minutes. We all know that’s not true! Knowing what you have the capacity to finish is vital.
Don’t be afraid to small and make the events bigger as you get more experienced
Live in the moment
When hosting an event, we want everything to be perfect. Take time to enjoy the event. Eat some good food, have a drink and talk to your guests. The people you invited will remember how you made them feel more than the food they ate!
