Personal Space: Alison Mazurek and Family Know How to Think Small
Inquiring (party-planning) minds want to know: what's the best way to get people out to your next big bash these days?
The crew here at Vanmag loves a party. Hell, we’re known to throw a good one ourselves. But after some recent in-office debates on party planning procedures got heated, it’s clear there’s some disparity on how to plan personal parties.
Some of us are mass group texters—just throwing the invite out into the world and seeing where it lands. Others are organized enough to design a full invite (the co-workers who have achieved inbox zero, of course). And then there’s the rest of us, unsure what the move is.
Is it gauche to send a Facebook invite in 2024? Maybe.
Is it too much pressure to text people individually when you already know in your heart how flakey those people can be? Possibly.
But we’re but a small sample size here at the mag. So we want to hear from you to set the record straight on the best way to plan a party in 2024.
