Hosting Parties When Recently Separated

With many people finding that once the initial most painful part of their recent separation is starting to subside they are able to enjoy a new lease of life, it is understandable that your thoughts might be turning towards hosting a party as a single person.
A welcome side-effect of being separated is that you are now able to please yourself; if your ex preferred to not invite people into your home or did not like to meet new people, you might be craving a bit of time to share your home and extend a bit of hospitality – on your own terms.
Hosting a party as a recently separated person is certainly a brave thing to do, but it’s also a very welcome invitation for many of your guests. People love to be invited to a party, especially one which has been carefully organised to appeal to the guests, rather than just the whim of the host, so think about the atmosphere you will create and who you will invite.
The Guest List
You’re probably not going to want to be the only single person in a room full of pairs, so this is a perfect opportunity to get a really interesting mix of people, regardless of their relationship status. Couples can easily get into a rut of only inviting other couples, or at least always having ‘plus ones’, but by thinking a little differently about who there is in your wider social circle that you might like to get to know better, you can have some wonderful experiences.It might be that the person in your department who shares your love of Thai food would love an invitation to a supper party, or perhaps a single mum from your choir would be the perfect person to join your mulled wine and mince pie evening? An invitation doesn’t have to be about a full three course meal that’s stressful for all concerned, a party can be whatever you make of it.
