In lieu of the upcoming event, I want to ask those who attended last year (or those who plan to attend this year) to leave some comments about what should be improved upon.
For example, SOMEONE thought my appetizers were burnt last year. Clearly they were not as I popped a few into my mouth. Alright, they were, fine. Be that way.
I’m going to list a few things that I think should be improved upon, and you can add a few of your own and expand.
Don’t get me wrong, I thought the party was awesome. But I do know that you should always try to improve a classic party.
Appetizers – Well, they were alright, but some of them also burnt. So, should I get better appetizers this year and make sure they aren’t burnt? What about the proximity to appetizers, were they hard to get to? Should I have a table in the corner and people can fill up a plate (I enjoyed this from Jen’s housewarming party).
Seating – Well, we all know there isn’t that much place to sit at Casa Losier/Palmer, but is that a big deal? Do people want to sit down? I would think this is a 50/50 scenario. People love the kitchen, but they also like to chill out. Should we get a few more chairs? How about the table? A few extra leaves in the table so people can sit down?
Games – As much as I didn’t like the idea of games last year, they actually turned out to be good times. I thoroughly enjoy the males vs. females trivia challenge and I think we should have an encore presentation of that. But should we have others? Should we have a euchre tourney down in the basement or is that just pushing it?
Gift Exchange – I think the gift exchange went over well with the ‘steal a gift’ routine so I think we’ll keep that unless everyone has any major objections.
Any other thoughts?
