What the party host can do to avoid spreading the swine flu this holiday season:
-Provide a way for people to identify their drinks.
Wine glass charms can help your guests identify their glasses.
-Use window markers to mark up regular glassware. Have your guests draw anything they want to identify their own glasses. The marker will come off in the wash, but not on your guests’ hands.
-If you’re using plastic cups, buy recycled plastic cups that you can feel less guilty about. You can have guests write their names on them with a permanent marker.
-Give every dish a utensil. Normally at parties there are dishes of peanuts, pretzels or candies that people reach into for a nibble. Put spoons or another appropriate utensil in these dishes so people can spoon out the snacks instead of reaching their hands in.
-Provide plenty of soap in the bathroom and disposable towels for guests to dry their hands with. Yes, a cloth hand towel is more environmentally friendly, but we’re going for health-friendly here. A roll of recycled paper towels on a pretty holder will do the trick and won’t be very expensive.
-You could also buy disposable guest hand towels – try to find ones made from recycled paper if you can.
If you or someone in your home comes down with a bad cold or the flu before the party, it’s best to cancel. Confining a sick child to his room for the party doesn’t confine the germs he’s spread around earlier in the day. Sure, it can be a disappointment, but your guests will be much more disappointed if they catch something for the remainder of the holidays.
