I've hosted quite a few parties by now. A success where everyone broke up into little groups and talked to each other, but also mingled with people I knew from completely other places, and got drunk, and porters visited, and much flirting and lap sitting went on. A party where no-one turned up. A party where everyone sat around in a big circle not knowing each other and being awkward. A joint party in the WPR, with friends' family included, which was surprisingly social, all in all. Various part way between dinner party and parties which have had various levels of success, but not especially.
I like to have a party because it's fun, it does a bit to repay people for good times I've had at their parties, it's a good way to get to know people better, it ensures a steady supply of social occasions. But, in true thinking about it too much style, I don't know if I should do anything more to prepare than the obvious of getting people to turn up, provide stuff, and hope we have fun. Is there anything particular I should? Am I turning into bridget jones? :)
