Good insights -- people now have to have their party look good for their social feeds: insta, tiktok, whatever. I'm forever thankful that I never had to even think about that, and even if people were taking pictures, nobody gave a damn about the background.
- fathomdeez 1y agoI go through this with my wife for every party we throw. She wants the house cleaned, table set, food spread ready, seasonal cocktails mixed, furniture moved around, decorations just so, etc. I’m like here’s a giant thing of ice cold booze have fun.
- floren 1y agoI know this struggle, and the best I've been able to do is to push every time for limited scope. Let's just get pizzas instead of cooking 3 different mains and having a cheese plate, 4 bowls of chips, etc. Social media has really done a number on people (see also those omnipresent balloon arches)
- sjducb 1y agoCleaning your house before a party is a reasonable ask.
- bluefirebrand 1y agoIt reallllllly depends on how dirty the place is Why clean it thoroughly both before and after a big party? Why not just after?
- lurk2 1y agoPeople deep cleaned their houses for parties long before social media and smartphones came along.
- paulryanrogers 1y agoOnly if they were rich or OCD. Plenty of parties were thrown with little prep when there weren't insta/tok/snaps showing off perfection 24/7.
- lurk2 1y ago> Only if they were rich or OCD Incorrect.
- saturneria 1y agoYea only the rich people clean their house lol.
- paulryanrogers 1y agoNot what I said. IME, the only people who "deep clean" before every party are either rich or are obsessed with cleanliness.
