When I attend an event where I know the host or hostess, I always offer to help. Some hostesses decline the help, but most take me up on the offer. Knowing how tiring it is to put on an event, I can empathize with the hostess. Just helping clean up or take a load of gifts to the vehicle can be a tremendous help.
During this summer with bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, lemonade stands, backyard BBQs, and other events, consider spending your time wisely in helping your host or hostess.
