I tend to over-invite, in case only a few people decide to come over. The problem with that is when you have an open invitation everyone sort of knows how many people are invited, so they may feel like they won't be missed if they don't show up. Why do I invite so many people? We really need to finish our basement, so there is more room for kids, especially. When they go upstairs, they sound much bigger than they are. It feels like the ceiling is coming down.
I have a plan for getting the basement done, but I don't think the men will get themselves organized to do my bidding. That said, I think all men that are working on their own houses, should devote a month or two to one particular family's projects. They get it done, then move on to the next family. That way, they learn together, and don't feel like they have an overwelming job all to theirselves. And I think they would have fun. I don't know why it's the men's job, maybe I need to learn to wire something or another so I could join.
I know it would work better, but who asked me? I just want to have a bigger space for a party.
