Volunteers – Making The Most Of Them -
Part 2

Friends who have volunteered to assist at the party, can help you organize your party, lend and/or gather borrow-ed equipment, be there when the rental truck arrives, andso on. Here’s how to make the most of them.

Ask for help! Here are a few reasons we say we don’t need help:

1. We don’t want our guests to feel as though they’re “singing for their supper.” Asking a guest to help with one small task can make a big difference, so don’t be shy — ask!

2. We want everyone to think of us as Supermen and Superwomen who can put together a party for a hundred guests without any help at all.

3. We’re sometimes afraid that when a friend asks if he or she can help, the guest is only doing so because it’s an obligation rather than a sincere desire to be of assistance.

Here’s what happens when you just say YES:

1. You get much-needed assistance.

2. Your guests get the pride of knowing they’ve helped you put together a great event.

3. Everyone who comes to the party enjoys how seam- lessly and smoothly everything runs.
