I'm planning on hosting a Christmas party between Christmas and new year. My parents and brothers will be staying nearby and DHs family all live locally. I'll also be inviting local friends and neighbours, so potentially quite a few people. I was thinking of having it as a 'drop in' from late afternoon to late evening rather than set 'party' hours iykwim?
Food wise, I'm thinking of a buffet. Slow cooker pork, breads, salads ect plus snacky stuff like crisps, tin of quality street.
Will provide some mulled wine and soft drinks, but ask everyone to bring a bottle? Does that sound okay?
Should I do something special for DCs coming over? We have a 3 and 5 year old, but most people invited will have DC too. A film in the bedroom maybe?
I have never done anything like this before and im worried that the house will be too small but I've been wanting to have a Christmas party for years!
Have I missed anything?
