It takes guts to be a party planner, don't you agree? Let's face it, everyone expects you to deliver a captivating and fun party.
I should know, I have been a Lifestyle and Social Director for over 15 years at Country Club's and HOA's in Georiga and Florida.
Face it, without entertainment, most parties are boredom fests. Corporate Holiday Parties are just another day at work, with better food.
Most of your quests quickly get bored and eat fast enough to get away from the tedious table conversations in order to get home. Guests spend more time on their cell phones than enjoying the party.
All the time spent planning a special evening and your guests eat their meal as quickly as possible, excuse themselves to leave early by saying, "The babysitter can't stay late tonight" or some other lame excuse.
