I used to worry too much about making sure there was enough of everything and that everything was in order. It’s a lot more fun for everyone if you’re free to move around and mingle.

One thing that I did realize was that I didn’t really have any proper cocktail glasses. I had a few over-sized rocks glasses and a lot of pint glasses and coffee mugs, though. As a result, people tended to get more loaded than they would otherwise. A quick trip to the store for some glassware changed that.

You give some realistic suggestions, a welcome change from articles that give you an impossible to-do list for the “simplest party ever!”. Thanks for a nice dose of rationality!
