THANK GOODNESS IT’S FRIDAY PARTY

There is nothing like that ” Friday Feeling” after a hard week at school or work. When Friday comes around most people are tired and just want to relax. That is no excuse to duck out of hosting a party.  The main thing to remember is keeping it relaxed and informal. Your guests will not want to be rushing home to get ready for a night of formal entertainment. Most will just want to get into their jeans and have a few beers.

So let’s start with a TGIF party for children. I know in my house the kids live for their Friday treat. Why not have a few
of their friends around directly after school. If the weather is good, fire up the BBQ and eat in the garden. Have plenty
of games ready. Nothing complicated. Relay races, egg and spoon races and throwing bean bags into a bucket will
keep them entertained.

If the weather is not so good then plan B will have to swing into action. In that case a game of darts using the “suction” or magnetic versions is perfect and if you have a bag of marbles you will also keep their attention.

If you wanted something a little more organised then why not ask them to arrive in fancy dress. Suggest a theme such as space or cowboys. The only thing to be wary of is that not everyone may have a suitable fancy dress costume so perhaps you are better just keeping the arrangements as simple as possible.
