Comment on Planning a Party? Involve the Guest of Honor by Ellen Zucker

Deb, that’s always a dicey situation. If you are determined to keep the party a surprise, you can only do the best that you can and there are no guarantees.

One solution is to involve people from as many areas of the Guest of Honor’s life as possible. Find out where the GOH spends her time and then contact friends from those areas such as her job, organizations in which she volunteers, etc.

Thanks for asking.

This is great advice. I’m wondering how you would handle this for a surprise party. We had a party a while back for a friend’s birthday, and since it was a surprise party, didn’t check with her first. We missed inviting some friends from her work that she would have loved to have at the party. I’d hate to repeat that mistake!

This is a great idea to prevent misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and missed expectations or desires. Thanks for sharing!

This is wonderful advice, Ellen. I am sure that including the guest of honor will usually enhance everyone’s experience. On the other hand, I imagine that party planners have all sorts of cautionary tales about what can happen when the guest of honor is NOT involved. (Maybe that’s grist for an entirely different blog post!) ;>)

Alice, I hadn’t thought of what I do as reflecting back to the subject a bit of themselves. Thank you for the insight!

Wow! What fun. I bet you must enjoy giving people feedback in your drawings. This is important because we cannot see our contribution without feedback from others.

What a fun job you have! Good job of explaining it. Perhaps your experience will help someone else who is trying to get their own business going and explain it well.

As jaded adults, I think it is easy to forget these are new experiences to young children. Thank you for your comment.
