2. Inside Parties
Keep plenty of supplies on hand like hand sanitizer and tissue. Arrange your furniture or chairs so that you have the proper 6 foot spacing. With inside events in particular, keep you gathering as small as possible. Think about limiting the items people will touch. Disposable supplies are a good idea and have plenty of boxes of Kleenex and some bottles of hand sanitizer around. Keep in mind that often germs are spread buy touching an infected surface and then touching your face. So be aware of where your hands are and don’t touch your face. If its a party where games will be played think of things like trivial pursuit where one person handles the cards because traditional card games are out.
3. Outside Parties
If you have the space outside is ideal. Who doesn’t like sitting around that fire or playing back yard games like bocce ball. The key is to remember to keep you space. When you set up for the party keep your chairs at least 6 feet apart. A little trick is to put something in between them like a table or cooler this will discourage people from moving them closer to each other. Have plenty of disposable wears, such as plastic utensils and paper plates on hand. When it’s time to eat go individually and make sure to have everything spaced so people can get their food and supplies without touching items they will not use. If you like the grill consider skewers or you as the host can wear gloves and serve all your guests.
4. Limit Your Invites
If you are going to invite people into your home, then make sure to limit your invites. If there was ever a time to consider who you want at your event now is the time. You may need to make some hard choices but keeping your event to around 10 people is a good way to start. You should ask each guest to only come if they have had no sickness symptoms and are feeling well.
