House Party Planning

Open House Party Planning

A non-traditonal party is an open house. It is very similar to traditional party, but there are some differences. Most importantly, an open house offers your guests greater convenience. Because open houses longer than traditional parties, your guests have a larger window of opportunity to visit you. Normally, open houses are scheduled earlier in the day than many parties. Open houses are usually daytime affairs.

Open houses require the same amount of planning as traditional parties. Because they are longer affairs, they are usually less structured. The longer schedule allows your guests to come and go more freely.

Open houses are great neighborhood parties. The less formal style fits perfectly this kind of event. It gives people living on the same street interact freely without worrying about a schedule. Your neighbors can drop by for a few minutes or several hours. It is up to them how long they stay. Your guests can arrive at different times throughout the day.

An open house allows you to have a party without having to manage its progression much. It is normally an informal event that requires no structure. You simply dedicate a certain amount of time for the open house that allows your guests to come and go whenever they please. Because there are usually no activities to plan you don’t have to worry about a schedule. Due to the more relaxed atmosphere, you may have more time to socialize.

Keep in mind that open house parties are longer than traditional parties. Therefore, the food you serve should hold up for the entire duration of the party. The foods your serve should not spoil easily. Make sure you have enough extra food to accommodate unexpected guests. Some of your guests may bring additional people, so be prepared to fee a couple of extra guests. Appetizers and various finger foods are great for open houses.

Because open houses are long affairs, you need to have a lot of energy to keep the party going all day. You should try to delegate as much as you can to help you with the workload. Welcoming guests throughout the day can be exhausting, so save your energy.

Final tip: Make sure your guests understand that they are invited to an open house and inform them of the duration of the party in advance.

Planning of moving house

Planning For Moving house

If you have just bought or are considering buying a new home, then you will also need to plan the process of moving home. While there are many things that you have to remember, planning them in advance will make the whole move easier and less traumatic. So it is a good idea that, as soon as you know the completion date for your move, that you start planning.

There are certain things that take quite a bit of time and should be arranged at least a month in advance. You will want to inform your landlord or any flatmates, if you have any, of the date that you are leaving. This can mean the difference between getting your deposit back or not, if you are renting, so it’s a good idea to let everyone know your plans as soon as you know them yourself.

You should probably also inform the gas and electricity companies of your knew property that you are the new owner. By doing this, it can avoid mix-ups later on. This would also include calling your telephone company and arranging to have your phone number transferred.

You can start packing up your things or getting boxes together. There are some things like books and photos that can be packed in advance and will save you hassle later on when the move gets closer. You may want to book some time of work, especially if you don’t think you’re going to be able to arrange the move in a weekend. Another good idea is to have a clearout and get rid of some old things that have been gathering dust. In fact, moving is the perfect chance to get rid of some of the belongings that accumulate over the years.

As the move gets closer you should book the removal company and arrange for transit insurance if you decide you need it. You can tell the post office to redirect your mail and you can also notify the local authority of the change in address for council tax purposes.

You should make sure that all your utility bills are paid up by the date of the move. You don’t want the new owners to be hounding you for unpaid bills once you’ve moved and now is the time to make sure they are accurate. If you have services like milk deliveries, newspaper deliveries and the like you should have these cancelled.

Gong Li - Beautiful Chinese Actress

Beautiful Chinese actress Gong Li was born on December 31, 1965 in Shenyang, China.

She made her acting debut in the 1987 Chinese film, Red Sorghum. Based on a novel by Mo Yan, this film received international acclaim and won the Golden Bear at the 1988 Berlin International Film Festival.
Of course this thrust Gong into the spotlight.
She followed up her role in Red Sorghum with roles in The Empress Dowager and Mr. Sunshine.
Her fourth film Codename Cougar (1989) was regarded by critics as purely frivolous work, but for her role as Ah Li in the movie, Gong Li won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Her next two films brought her even more fame, A Terracotta Warrior (1990) got her nominated for the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actress, and Ju Dou (also in 1990) was the first Mainland Chinese film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Gong Li has gone on to appear in over thirty films, making her English speaking debut in 2005 as Hatsumomo in Memoirs of a Geisha.
After that she appeared in Miami Vice (2006) as Isabella and Hannibal Rising (2007) as Lady Murasaki.

She is set to appear in the 2010 drama-mystery-thriller film Shanghai with John Cusack, Chow Yun-Fat and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Then it's back to China to appear in the comedy romance What Women Want with Andy Lau.

By the way...did I mention that she was 45 years old?
