Invite her to a more casual dinner party later. You're constantly hosting and she'll it enjoy it more anyway.

 

Invite her, load her up with wine, and trick her into trying new food.

 

Who cares? You're not cooking and you doubt the takeout place will be offended.

 

Invite her and offer PBJ and grilled cheese instead of your famous coque au vin.

The Drink Fairy

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 Martha Stewart

You have hosting all figured out. Your meals are delicious, your table settings are beautiful, the house is clean, and somehow you also had time to whip up individual gift bags. The Cooking Channel can't wait for your show!

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!
