Ask any foreigner or tourist what they think about Australians and they will probably tell you that we are carefree, laidback and easy-going; though some people in countries like Bali might think that Australians are loud and drunk, thanks to a few bad examples over the years.Hearing from people who have lived and travelled overseas, we are definitely more laidback than people from other countries. Maybe it’s our sun, surf and sand lifestyle or maybe it’s our “work to live” mentality instead of the “live to work” mentality of countries like the US, Japan, Singapore, etc. Or maybe the laidback reputation came from our many public holidays that happen to fall on Mondays, thus giving us long weekends to travel, have weekend barbeques and parties.We find any excuse to party; doesn’t matter if it’s Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Australia Day, Easter, Queen’s Birthday, AFL Grand Final Day or Melbourne Cup Day. That is a lot of party to attend or host. If you are the host, it will be hard work for you both before the party and after the party because there are invitations to send out, decorations to hang up, food to prepare and the clean up afterwards. Children’s parties are no different except for the addition of having to provide the entertainment as well. One short cut you can take, however, is to have the party invitations and address labels professionallyprinted, so that all you have to do is put them in the mail and focus on the other tasks.

Less work, more fun in party planning
People who prefer spending their weekends with family and friends and a work-life balance usually love the Australian lifestyle because of its laidback and easy-going reputation. Hosting parties would definitely be more fun and less work if people can “outsource” some of the work to someone else.
