Years ago, any time we had a dinner party, the guests always offer to bring something and I always said no, I have it under control. But then I started to let them ... a salad, a loaf of bread, wine, whatever. Why not? Relieves the stress a little bit from me and they like to contribute. Maybe add a spin, like they should bringing their favorite comfort food, or childhood favorite or something.Cate O'Malleyhttp://www.sweetnicks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520887132511317593.post-23334847804857580822009-10-27T12:55:09.502-04:002009-10-27T12:55:09.502-04:00I figured out from throwning the party for my gram...I figured out from throwning the party for my gram back in August that parties are expensive.
