A little bit of the ridiculous for your amusement...
My subscription renewal to Real Simple came in the mail recently and, to “entice” me to sign up for another year, they included a booklet of Party Shortcuts --Tips for Easier Entertaining. It is a small (about 3"x5"), thin, 8 page booklet with some of the silliest “advice” I’ve seen.
My favorite was
“Give the Signal To Go”
Do it gently by bringing out hot chocolate in paper party cups with “Thanks for Coming” written on them.
The head-slapping “duh” tip?
Save half-used bottles of wine...
Okay, maybe I’m being “picky”… but they all seemed just so silly! I'm not about to give out cups of hot chocolate with "thanks for coming!" written on them,and would anyone toss half-used bottles of wine?
BTW, it is a good magazine. Maybe it's because they usually have such good information that this booklet seemed so odd (even if there’s way too much info in each issue for me to retain for any length of time and the prices of the clothes they feature stun me a bit); Amazon has a yearly subscription for $10 this week only.
