Do you consider yourself a good host at a party?

I think that I am a good host. I like especially host parties like for superbowl and things like that. I like to make all the food and decorate and have games for the fun.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Could you host another party somewhere else? Maybe throw your baby a party at the local park. Bring some simple sandwiches and juice boxes, call it a playdate party and invite some of your friends. That way you could still host a casual party and have fun with the people that you want to hang out with. If you wanted to, you could get some balloons, make a cake, hand out goody bags or whatever. What I would do is send out an evite, or regular party invitations, saying that the party was a small family get together this year, but you still want to celebrate with your close friends, no gifts neccesary. Invite them to the park for a long play date so that people can come and go around naps and feeding times and still feel like they get to celebrate with you.

To become a good host, first make sure you have enough space for everyone. Never should the guest feel that they have not been treated well. As long as the guest is there, put your needs next to the needs of your guests. It is said in hinduism that mother, father, teacher and the guest are god. Preplanning is important. Other things depend upon how calm you are and how well you can manage irky situations...
