steedie make sure yu find some friends of yours to invite, why you not like them sleeping on floor, dont be tied to the kitchen all night, enjoy the party yourself too, just do snacky stuff as already suggested, of course they should all bring a bottle or whatever they drink its just the normal thing to do isnt it, enjoy yourself and stop fretting

Steedie Even when you get old and crinkly you still take a bottle or two to a party and it's practically compulsory for young people! My two eldest always take plenty of booze with them. As Nell said, you are providing the venue and the hospitality it's up to them to make a party of it. I think Aaron's friends will be really touched at your gesture. Try to relax and enjoy it and be yourself. Daisy

Invite the neighbours and make sure that the music stops at a reasonable time - you want more parties in the future. Lots of coffee available towards the end Peter

Best way I've found to have a good party is to invite the right people - everything else matters less. CB >|<

Hi, I agree with Bec's.. plenty of alcohol, music and some nibbles, as soon as the alcohol flows everyone will want to party.. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Debbie

Strump Let's face it, you and I wouldn't go ANYWHERE without a bottle! How are you and how is Matt? :-) nell

Have to say, even if i werent going to a party and it was for dinner, i would still take a bottle...think most would?? No, its not cheeky to ask. xx

Steedie When I was a young party-throwing/party-going gal it was de rigeur to bring/take a bottle. It isn't at all cheeky. I wouldn't dream of turning up at a social do (party or dinner party, whatever) without a bottle or other gift. People go to parties to have fun - you should have fun too. Chill. If you feel nervous have a drink before everyone else arrives. nell

im thinking of buying some wine, crate of lager couple bottles of vodka some fizzy drinks and saying to people to bring some drinks...i think thats fair...and just getting loadsa pringles nuts and all that xxx

Not at all!! I've had parties and supplied mixers, snacks and some booze but if you're supplying drink for everyone you'll have to buy have an off licence. Some people like lager, some like bitter, some like vodka, some like alcopops...etc etc Becx

what do you think...is it cheeky to ask people to bring drinks?

Maybe I'll be offered a (shared) bed for the night??? PMSL JOKING!! You'll have a great night sweetie, just relax and enjoy yourself becx

is it cheeky to ask people to bring drinks??

all my friends live quite a bit away, the first person i would invite would be bec but i cant promise a place to stay, His best mate will be in the spare room and no way am i having bodies in my living room lol...its just easier to not invite my friends....and the fact that i dont want any fights, and young fellas mixing with other young fellas they dont know doesnt always go well....seeee i worry!!!!!!!!! x

You're the one with the cool new flat! You're funny, interesting, smart and lots of fun! You'll be fine :-) becx

Erm, why not invite some of your mates? Its a party!! Think if i was holding a party, id like some of my own friends there. xx

Tell them to bog off! You'll be fine sweetie, as long as you know there will be enough people who know each other then the conversations will flow and it'll be great :-) becx

Steedie Your job as hostess is to offer a warm welcome, refreshments and comfortable surroundings. Your guests' job is to be grateful. They have no business being bored. It is not your job to entertain them - they aren't 6 year olds! nell
