How To End A Party Without Upsetting The Guests, Part 1
Every day party hosts all over the world face a delicate problem of ending the party politely without upsetting the guests. The party seems to be in full swing but you already feel tired and have all this clean up ahead of you. The time has come to end a party. But how can you do it without upsetting the guests? Here are a few ways to end a party like a pro.
- Plan an Advance
There isn’t anything embarrassing about planning an ending time for a party. You know how much partying you can take, so let the guests know it as well. When you are sending out the invitations or calling up a friend, make sure to mention that you are holding a party between 3 and 8 p.m. or the like.
The guests, who know about the party limits in advance, won’t be upset when the time comes to leave it. Meanwhile, you don’t have to voice the party ending time during the event itself.
- Start Cleaning Up
While cleaning up during a party might seem like bad manners, it’s a wonderful way to show the guests that you are tired. Start taking the dirty dishes to the kitchen, cleaning up the spills, and slowly clearing away the food and drinks. This is a perfect way to show that the party is over without actually saying it. Meanwhile, you might get the much-needed cleanup assistance from the guests.
- Say Thank You
Thanking everyone for coming is another great way to end a party. You can serve the last round of drinks and make a toast to your wonderful guests. Then you can hug or shake hands to show that the party is really over.
