1 . It’s our nature to connect with one another. Here are some tips on how to host an amazing gathering at home.
Hosting can be burdensome. Being clear about your purpose beforehand can ease some of that burden. It can also give guests a clear picture of the event ahead of time, so that they can decide for themselves whether or not to come.
A purpose doesn’t have to be serious.

When it comes to deciding the specific people to invite, there can be a lot of anxiety.
For starters, group size matters. It can fundamentally affect people’s behavior, and there’s actual science to it, too.
