Dear friends and fellow forum members...it has come to the point in my planning of the 1st Annual Apostacheesefest at my home; that I really haven't the faintest idea of how to run this thing. I am actually quite "socially retarded" and have not had a LARGE gathering at my home since...hmmmmm...since I don't know when!
So I beseech anyone out there who has attended or put on an apostafest...what are some good ideas to make it EASY for me and yet FUN for everyone.
My husband is complaining that I am becoming obsessed with putting this on and I suppose he doesn't want to have to commit me to the psychiatric ward before this event. (That's PSYCHIATRIC not GERIATRIC).
HELP?????

P.S. Please do not put this under apostafests. I need this to go out to a broader range of people. Thank you for your support.
I have never put together an apostafest but I have thrown big parties.
First thing I did was get a head count and budget and I asked everyone (except for the guest of honor) to bring something like side dishes, pop, and beer. This helped big time. That way I did not have to cook so much food. I cooked the big stuff. Last party I through was a going away party and so I cooked on the grill. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, potato salad, kool-aid, cake and ice cream is all I provided. Oh yes and the mustard, pickles, etc. My advice is don't worry about the small stuff. I left that up to my guests to bring the side dishes they wanted. I am a single person and cannot afford a lot. I used my sisters big back yard and I rented chairs and a tent. I came out under budget with my last party. I was very proud of myself. Don't be afraid to ask for help and keep it simple.
unbeliever...that is kind of what we thought of doing in the first place. I hate to see my husband spending all his time at the grill. BUT...maybe that is what we'll go ahead and do...DANG...that is what I had planned in the first place.
We do have two tents we bought at Sears for half price...so that is one worry taken care of. (Of course...Blondie's weather forecaster, Irreverent...has promised no rain that day)!
