It's probably about 10 years since I've hosted a house party. We've got about 15 families coming round, it's a late afternoon / into the evening if people want to stay thing. Will be lots of 4-6 year old children, we're planning on putting DVDs on in ds1's bedroom for them.
Food is casual - will do pizzas, potato skins, sausages at tea time, with pick-at things too (struggling with ideas beyond the obvious crisps, olives, cheeseboard). Wine, beer and lager covered, picking up extra glasses tomorrow. Got lemonade, cordials, random posh raspberry drink as the non-alcoholic options. Will set up a small table with colouring in stuff and a few toys for younger kids downstairs.
I've been mainly cleaning and tidying, we don't have loads of space hence sending the kids upstairs.
What haven't I thought of?
