Are you just a little relieved that the holidays are almost over? Tired of cooking, cleaning, presents, and even witty conversation? Some of us party hostesses need to step back once in awhile and recognize that people can enjoy our home and our company without having it be a big deal every time. Here's the solution to getting your wish for relaxation without being completely anti-social.
Not-a-Party Party How-To:
Text a few friends and have them come over on a night that's convenient. Order a couple pizzas, serve the food on paper plates. NO DISHES. NO COOKING. Serve whatever wine you have leftover from the holidays. Have a couple movies picked out and have the guests vote on which one to watch.
Resist your perfectionist urges to buy coordinating napkins. Centerpiece? Just say NO. Step away from the silverware polish!!!! No, people will not rebel if you do not make a dessert this time. They are already getting free pizza - that's awesome enough.
Eat. Drink. Watch. Kick everyone out at a reasonable hour.
Hopefully it's just a refreshing and fun night for everyone, even you!
