Running a party store all day gives me great stories and ideas as I'm meeting people everyday coming in the store and preparing for their party. I thought I'd start this blog by sharing my favorite reasons for having a party.
- Clean House: The most motivated cleaning seems to always be done right before a party.
- Appreciation: When there is a guest of honor (birthdays, home coming, anniversaries, etc) there are very few things that make that a person feel so special.
- Bonding: Gatherings with friends and family at a party offers better opportunities to talk, laugh, and connect without the distractions of work life, shopping, school, and events where we most often see each other.
- Leftovers: The week after a party is usually smooth sailing for the cooks in the family. There are always great snacks and lots leftovers for easy meals.
- Pictures: It's the laughing, fun, and joy we have at our parties that we want to share. (especially on facebook!)
- Creativity: Thanks to pinterest a themed party can really get your creative juices flowing!
- Satisfaction: Text messages, facebook tags, thank you notes, and "I had a great time" phone calls the day after a party always makes a host/hostess feel great the day after.
- Re-connection: There are many people in our lives that we don't have regular inter-action with so parties are always a great time for hosts and hostesses and our guests to connect.
- Team work: No matter how simple or elaborate the party is, there is always a sense of team work with family and friends that help pull it all together.
- Memories: Some of the most important memories are the times that we celebrate together. These are the times we photograph, recall, and try to re-live.
Happy celebrating! :)
