If I am having a dinner party for a large group, I feel the same way, I
do not want to be in the kitchen cooking while the party is going on.

I like costume parties that follow a theme, you dress like one of the
characters. I have done Dallas, Deadwood, The Sopranos, and in June we
are doing a 60's party (again). There is more work decorating the
house, and finding menus that match the theme, but it is a lot of fun.
