If you are blessed with a lavish, well decorated lawn
that can incorporate a substantial number of people, you never have to worry
about the venue for any of your events. However, most of us do not have a
backyard out of fairy-tales. It is usually cramped and stuffed with useless
things collected over the years. Neither are our homes so big and spacious that
a bunch of people can move around freely when a bigger party is thrown. That is
why whenever we need a birthday venue or a reception center we need to look elsewhere. Many people still consider that an
unnecessary expense but there are many hidden problems of hosting a party at
home that people don’t often realize.
The moment you open up your home to be the next birthday
venue, the first thing you need to do is a massive cleaning. We always try and
keep our homes as tidy as possible but most of the time it is not enough unless
you have severe OCD! But the moment you open your house to guest, you open it
up to scrutiny. People will have access to every corner of your home, unless
you specifically make a space off-limits. People will scrutinize your
housekeeping skills, your decorating skills and more often than not give you
uninvited suggestions on how to make it better.
Another problem with having guests at home is that most
people do not have any respect for privacy. They may venture into uncharted territories and rustle through stuff that they clearly should not. You being
the busy host might not always be able to keep a tab on that. They forget the
fact that they are indeed in someone’s home and that it needs to be treated
with respect, especially in case of teenage kids. So by the time the guest
leaves you might find yourself drowning in a pile of litter which you need to
clean. Not to mention the little damages that you find in the following days.
For this reason hiring a reception centre seems like a
much saner and safer option.
