I am hosting a party in two weeks and I am bricking it

I think that this is the first thread I have ever started in _Chat

I usually hang out in MH, and one of the reasons for this party is my impending divorce, proceedings for which will start this month. I'm fragile. Please play nice.

I am hosting a party in two weeks and am totally bricking it. It seemed like such a good idea at the time of the planning (I pinned the date down back in July), and now I am worried. My main worry is that there will be some sort of drama that will all be my fault. I have invited lots of people from all different parts of my life (friends, family, colleagues, people I know from hobbies and from sports, all sorts of people). The guests do not all know each other and there are lots of them that I think would get on well with each other. Nonetheless, for some reason I feel as if I have created this massive liability scenario.

Food, venue and so on are taken care of. I might be short of one entertainment type thing to do later on as there will be a few hours after the food has been served and we do not have facilities for dancing which might be the obvious choice. I am not a fan of board games. I thought maybe something creative? I like creative things. Or serve a cheese board, that was my other option.

I am also secretly hoping for a pombear style end-up-in-classics thread from one of my guests, so if you recognise me from this please oblige!

Magicians are vetoed, but the suggestion gives me an idea or two. Thank you.
