Time and time again, I hear my friends (who love to host parties!) complain that they feel like they can never mingle enough at their own festivities. They feel like they are constantly getting people drinks and worried about the food. They often times spend the whole party running back and forth to the kitchen in an attempt to manage the whole party for their guests.
I recently read this NYTimes article that perfectly spells out how a party planner can help free up to host to enjoy their own party. While the article focuses on parties that trend towards expensive and extravagant, the premise is a fantastic one. Ask a close friend to help you out during the party in exchange for a bottle of wine. Or hire a high schooler in your town to wash dishes and pass appetizers. Getting creative and passing the responsibility to someone else will allow you to fully enjoy your own party.
