i posted earlier about holiday open house and got good ideas.
We moved here this summer. New city.
Between my immediate neighbors and a few old friends and a few new friends I've only got about 26 people to invite. A Sunday afternoon.
Questions:
1. If I make it 1-4 or 5 it could get very spread out and perhaps most people would come between 1-2:30 (best guess). Then anyone coming later it would look like hardly anyone came.
Should I consider narrowing it down to force a bigger crowd? 1-3:30 or something like this? Would this be more like a lunch?
2. Other than my son and his immediate nuclear family, I was NOT considering inviting family. I'm actually having all of them for Xmas so I didn't nt think it's necessary. Besides, if I invite one, I would have to invite them all.... correct?
What to call it?
Holiday lunch?
Holiday Open House?
Holiday Open House/Lunch?
Thank you.
