Planning a Big Birthday Without Falling Out With Your Family
Planning a Big Birthday Without Falling Out With Your Family Somewhere around fifty, or thirty, or whatever number scares you, people start saying “we should do something.” Then three relatives have three different ideas, someone makes a spreadsheet, and the fun drains right out of it.

Half Your Guests Are Flying In? Plan Around Them
Half Your Guests Are Flying In? Plan Around Them When my cousin got married, the thing people talked about afterwards wasn’t the flowers.

The Guest List Comes First: How to Size Up a Party Before You Pick a Room
The Guest List Comes First: How to Size Up a Party Before You Pick a Room People usually start with the dream. A rooftop, a grand hall, fairy lights. Then reality turns up with a spreadsheet.
