Sustaining Your Spirits High For A Fun Party Experience

By Walter B. Hernandez


The party hostess for your little 'at home' party has been instructed, there is a huge guest list, you got to get your act together, the dog is going ballistic for a walk and the baby won't stop screaming. Help please! I need my tranquilizer, right now!

Whoa! Do not walk into your home party looking over-worked, weary and sick of life. God no, think of a solution. Maybe something like the pre-party tips mentioned below that are sure to help you get there in top and model shape. 


1. Your hostess must have given you directions so do not forget to recheck them and confirm the location of your destination online. And as an added precaution, also print out the reverse directions so that you get home easily. 


2. Do not make the mistake of waiting till the eleventh hour to pack your kit. Do it the before or on the morning of, your show and have it ready and waiting in the car to cut down on the last minute hassle. 


3. "I don't know what to wear!" don't sweat it! Here's an easy solution. Throw together a few outfits that you can wear to several parties, and keep rotating them between different upcoming parties.

4. Any night when you are not out working be sure to cook at least two meals to make up for nights when you are away. Get your husband's or eldest child's help to smooth over the transition time and avoid a bit of the last-minute stress. If the children need babysitting ask around for at least two babysitters you know you can rely on because you never know when you might need to call on backup. 


5. Music! Keep a CD of your favorite, upbeat numbers in the car so you can de-stress and relax on the way. This way you will arrive fresh and in a positive mood.

These pre-party preparations are to prep you up so get there with a great attitude and a big smile. This will double the guests' enjoyment and will undoubtedly make the home party an event to remember.
