this is the best example of “less is more” in action. lengthen this period of celebration by orchestrating a few different small group events, it allows you to focus more of your time and energy on the people you’re with rather than trying to spread yourself thin between everyone you know being in the same place all at once. the pressure of wanting things to go right on this one special evening is lessened, bc you know you’re going to have more opportunities. allows for diversity of vibe (i can do dinner AND a picnic AND a bar hang!!) less overwhelming and more funnnnnn
