St Paddy crowding
Mar. 21st, 2007 10:54 amWe threw a combined St Patrick's Day and birthday party (my birthday was on the 11th, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jlms's was yesterday) last Saturday. Even though the turnout was slightly lower than at the big, everyone's welcome parties we've thrown the last few years, it was really too busy for a couple of hours, so we didn't have a chance to actually talk to people until half of them had left.
This was for two reasons, I think: At our previous parties people have dropped in more evenly during the evening and this time 30 of the 40 people who eventually turned up did so within 45 minutes, and for some reason they refused to spread out in the house, instead forming a thick crowd in the kitchen and the upper living room. (I'm not too fond of crowds.)
I think the next time we'll have to reduce the invitation list so we don't get to be more than 25 or so, or we'd have to make it an all day drop-in thing. It was good fun, though, especially the later part when I had time to sit down, relax and enjoy myself. And we do have the best friends!
