Plus: A dominating woman has hijacked our writers’ group.
It’s not easy to throw parties – from planning, setting up the house, buying and preparing food, etc.
Second, out of 35 people who responded yes, two canceled the night before, two canceled two minutes before the party started, and six were no-shows.We did have a great time, loved the people who attended, and made some great memories; however, the leftover food is a waste and the inconsiderate “friends” left us feeling embarrassed and sad.What do we say to these people the next time we see them?And yes, common courtesy isn’t all that common.
Technology has enabled hosts to easily invite and keep track of their guest lists. If you use an Evite, you can also remind guests the week of the party, offer last-minute directions to the venue, and “nudge” those who haven’t responded to your invitation to please get back to you. Otherwise, you can do what many beleaguered hosts do, which is to call those who haven’t responded and ask them if they’ll be able to make it.
