whats the party in honour off?

Let’s party,


It’s party time,

Plinky prompt of the day is the ideal number of guests for a party.

But what goes into making a party a success?

3-4 weeks prior to the event

• Decide the day and date

• Create a guest list

• Create a budget.

• Pick a venue and book it.

• Decide a theme.

• Make a supply list

• Decide on the cake design if needed.

Two weeks before the party

• Mail in the invitation

• Make a general grocery list.

• Take an inventory of the serving dishes and check if you need to beg, borrow or steal. 

• Call up the people from whom you need to borrow fix a date of pick up.

A day or two afterwards

If organizing a party is so tedious then don’t you think the guest list is important?

So how many does it takes to make an ideal party?

Even before I made this list I should have figured what is meant by a party?

Party incidentally has its origin in 1250-1300 AD English and is inspired by the French noun parti.

If we consider party as a noun then

It’s a social gathering of invited friends and guess for conversation, refreshments and entertainment. The ideal number of guests here would be enough to have a comfortable conversation, which is all your guests, must be comfortable with each other; the cost of food and venue should be within your budget.

If it is a gathering of people for a special task say a hunt party—again the ideal number would be just enough for everyone to relax in each other’s company and carry on the purpose of the party. If it is a formal then all associated with that task, or all associated with the company would definitely be there.

If it is a squad, or detachment or detail of a troop—like a search party then more the merrier.

If my party was an adjective then

It takes only to be party to a secret. For here party is something shared or pertaining to.

If is something pertaining to a party like a leader then god forbid we have more than one, if is something like a party dress then well…

If my party is a verb then

It’s to participate in a series of parties; I guess the guest list here is bringing your own guest.

But what likes the best is verb—to enjoy oneself thoroughly without restrain hey then it’s more the merrier.
