It's okay to...

I think sometimes we all need a little reminder that it's okay to not be perfect. I often get dragged down by who other people think I should be and what they think is right and what isn't. I think it's important to sometimes set your own values of what you think is okay and what isn't. So if like me you've been having a hard time lately at the expectations of others, hopefully this will give you some assurance.

It's okay to...

It's okay to ignore words like 'should' and 'must'. Somebody else's 'shoulds' and 'musts' are just that - theirs! Don't adopt them if they aren't right for you.

Organising A Party - The Basics

When organising a big bash it can be difficult to get everyone together and make it happen. Here are a few tips:

1) Don't leave it until the last minute to invite people, especially if it's on a weekend. Many people might not be able to make it due to other plans, responsibilities, travel problems or appointments. To make sure you get a full crowd, give as much notice as possible. This is especially relevant if you are sending invites in the post as you need to allow plenty of time for your invite to be sent and for your RSVP to return. If you don't know all the details yet then you can always just ask your guests to save the date until you are further ahead with plans. That way, they know to keep that day free and you have a few definites for the guest list.
