Have a potluck. Often, guests love to bring their own dishes to share. Host a potluck and let everyone know what you will be making, i.e., that you have dessert or appetizers covered.
**Have it catered. **While more costly than the potluck, having the food brought in from your favorite local eatery takes all the stress out of meal planning.
**Border hosting into one or two rooms. **No need to open the whole house to your party. One or two rooms, like the kitchen and living room, can be fine. Close doors to off-limits rooms, but make sure guests know which bathroom they should visit.
Skip the meal. Have a cocktail party instead of a dinner date. Create fun drinks and mixers, with a few simple appetizers.
Enlist a friend for clean-up. Have a close, reliable pal? Ask them in advance if they wouldn’t mind staying after-hours to help you with cleanup.
