A great way to have a party

I saw this blurb in Oprah's Home magazine for the Fall, and I think it's a great idea. I actually love to have dinner parties through I stress endlessly. I stress over the food, but more so over the guests. how many to invite, will they show, will they be late, did I invite the right mix, too many, too few? OMG!! It is a bother, but it doesn't stop me. I still like it, and even one good one out of 4 will make me have another. Normally, people don't really bring too much stuff to my parties, but I never ask. I read this and make a quick mental list charities I could host, my favorite is Gidget's home, the Lone Star Boxer Rescue. They are great particularly because $800 is a world to them. It is the cost of heartwomr treatment for one dog. So I don't feel bad asking my guest to fork over $25. It's a tax write off for them, and its going to a great cause. I will be having one of these soon enough.
