MHH is SO positive and kind and good. Would it be too negative to talk about what makes a party really bad -- and how to avoid those things? If this is too negative, I hope one of the mods will remove this thread.
I am thinking about this topic because on Saturday, we went to a graduation party. It must have been 100 degrees in the house. The house is not equipped with air conditioning. There was no outside area. There were lots and lots of people invited to the party. This party included dinner, but after about a half hour, my husband and I felt really sick from the heat and had to leave. Scheduling that party, in a house with no air conditioning, on one of the hottest days of the year - made for a bad party. It was not "magical".
I think minimal physical comfort is essential for a good party.
Food can be really simple for a party. But I think there should be plenty of non-alcoholic drinks for everyone, even if something alcoholic is served too. And the food must be prepared in a sanitary manner, and kept safely warm or chilled. Food poisoning is really horrible, and it is a bad party if the guests get food poisoning.
What do you think? Do you think there are things that simply must be avoided if you are going to avoid having a "bad party"? :rnament:
