It’s Friday – Let’s Throw a Party!

A Find it Friday post

Do you love to throw a good party? How about last minute parties? We used to have people over all the time before we had kids. We invited people over to the house for dinner, invited lots of people to the house to just hang out and also constantly had people just dropping in unexpectedly.

I really want to get back in the groove of having people over more and also letting our house be the “you know you can drop by anytime” house. It’s pretty much already the place where all the neighborhood kids congregate, but they like to play outside and jump on our trampoline. Adults are harder to please. If you show up and it’s not a good time, I’ll just tell you, but on most occassions I want to have everything at hand to entertain people on a whim. I don’t want to have to search high and low in my kitchen for all the necessary party needs.

That’s why I am going to create a “party station”. This way I can find anything and everything I need.

So, what would a party station include? Here are a few ideas:

• wineglasses
• vases
• trays
• decorative napkins
• napkin rings
• fun plates
• straws
• table cloths
• place mats

Where could you create your party station? Maybe a hutch or some extra cabinet space would work. My plan is to save up for a hutch to put in my kitchen and store everything party related in there, including wrapping paper, bows, gift bags, etc. But for now, I’ll have to make some room in the cabinets.

Alright….it’s party time!
