Oh, good point! I forgot they don’t come together.
And thank you for the reminder about cash. The weeknight party will be before shabbos, so ss will be the last meal. When do I tip?

are you having guests for Shabbos?
Do you need to find places? Hostess gifts for the people hosting.
Maps for your guests?
Are you going to have a sign in board for the party?

My husband is going to find places, believe it or not! How awesome is that???
I need to get hostess gifts and I need to make guest packages (which will include a map)
Didn’t even think about a sign in board, but that might be fun
