Have you ever thought of having an Impromptu party to sneak socializing with friends into your busy schedule?
There is a great article in today’s Wall Street Journal A salvation for overloaded parents: the weekday mini-date. The solution presented is a mini date with your partner is a great idea.
Weekday mini-dates are good, but sometimes you need to have adult conversations with someone other than your partner. I am not saying that conversations with your partner aren’t important. I would say that it is equally important to talk to others too. Everyone needs socialization and there aren’t many things more fun than dinner with good friends, good food and an adult beverage or two, or four.
A perfect solution is an Impromptu Friday Night party where you get to socialize with friends over food and wine. It doesn’t have to be a formal dinner party. In Impromptu Friday Nights – A Guide To Supper Clubsa solution is provided where you don’t even need to cook.
My daughter’s mother in law is a great hostess. Her theory is “I don’t cook, but I know where to buy”. Helene and her husband Rick throw great dinner parties where they source everything from local restaurants and markets.
This formula works really well when you coordinate and delegate. You would be amazed how receptive your friends (Overloaded Parents or not) will be to an impromptu invitation. The hostess/host can get texts flying with instructions as simple as:
- Kenny’s buying Chinese
- Smiths bring red wine
- Harper bring beer
- Nangle bring white wine
- Flora’s bring dessert
- All Show up at 7 pm
Voila… you have your solution. You can even simplify further by deciding to meet at a restaurant.
The key is coordination and delegation!
