00:00My mama is what we like to call in South Georgia, a hostess with the mostest.
00:05Here are seven things she would just never do beforehand.
00:08Number one, deep clean the whole house before the party.
00:11People stress too much about making sure the house is perfect.
00:15I promise no one is looking at your baseboards.
00:18Number two, cook everything from scratch.
00:20My mama is one of the best cooks I know, but she is not above something that is semi-homemade.
00:25Number three, showcase your fanciest things.
00:27Basically, if guests aren't allowed to touch it, it shouldn't be out at the party.
00:31Number four, play bartender all night.
00:33Mix up a batch drink, set up a bar station like I did here, and let guests get creative with their own drink.
00:39Number five, overdo it with the apology.
00:42Southerners love to apologize for doing nothing.
00:44They don't know you messed up, and an apology just draws attention to something they didn't notice in the first place.
00:49Number six, try to do everything yourself.
00:51Now, I got my control issues from my mama.
00:53We both love to be in charge.
00:54But we are not above delegating.
00:57And even if that means we're not the person meeting the first guest so that we have time to run upstairs, put our lipstick on, and breathe.
01:04Last but not least, not enjoy your own party.
01:07Try not to stress about the spa stuff and enjoy your own party.
01:11That's why you're throwing one after all.
