You do a little work to make a great party, but you mostly rely on alcohol to make sure everyone has a good time. No one's drink goes empty at your house - whether they notice it or not! Either way, friends don't turn down your invites - that's where all the good stories come from.
The Homeowner
Yeah, you're providing the home for the party, but should you really have to put in all the work? Your invitations always say, "Potluck" and "BYOB." You believe your party-goers will be happy if they're bringing their own faves - and guess what? You're right!

The Mom
You may or may not have kids, but either way you find yourself constantly cleaning up after everyone, offering them snacks, and helping them with their feelings. Every guest will feel loved at your house!
