St. Patrick's Day Party: Protect Fragile Objects

Video Transcript

"Whoa, that was a close one there, wasn't it? Now to avoid these situations at your party, I recommend putting all fragiles away. Do not leave these out among your guests. St. Patrick's Day especially, among the holidays and observances, it is the wild child. Oftentimes, things get broken. No matter how nice, no matter how posh, no matter how well-behaved your guests are it can and will happen to you. So put things like nice vases, really fragile china, family heirlooms, urns, those things should not be on coffee tables out where your guests are going to be hanging out. They should not be on windowsills where people may be putting down drinks or quickly brushing by as they run off to the dance floor when they want to dance like it's 1976 again, any which way. So make sure and have your fragiles put away before your guests even arrive. It's one of those great little pre-party things you just do, especially on St. Patrick's Day. Because you don't want to have your party's flow totally interrupted by a, as you realize, you know, that the special glass that Aunt Mildred gave you on your eighteenth, you know, high school graduation just shattered all over the hardwood in your kitchen. You want to avoid that, which means putting your fragiles away, and keeping your fragiles separate from your guests."
