Generally, most people are so excited to come that they find a way to make it work. I've had friends who doubled or tripled up on babysitters so they could save cash. In a few cases the husbands couldn't make it due to work conflicts so two wives would join up and come together as a couple. I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you. Just plan a fabulous party and your guests will be so jazzed about coming that they'll figure out their own babysitting solution. I hope that helps. Good luck! Thanks for the question, Rainy.

We only have 2 or 3 babysitters in our ward, but quite a few young children. Most of us end up trading off babysitting with each other, but it makes it difficult for us to do couples activities without the kids. Have you run into this problem before?

No, we weren't on a team. We sort of floated between locations and prepped the house for the ending party. We were also on standby for emergency clues. Instead of printing emergency clues for each team, we just instructed them to call my cell anytime they needed help. We kept track of how many times they called and deducted those scores from their total. We also hosted a bonus challenge midway through the night. Teams that wanted to earn bonus points had to meet us at a certain location at a certain time and perform a challenge. It wasn't the same kind of fun as the anonymous party, but I still loved it. After weeks of planning, it was great to be able to kick back and enjoy the night. Personally, I think it's just as much fun to watch your friends search for clues and compete for challenges as it is do participate yourself. Thanks for the question, Jen. No, we weren’t on a team.

I'm doing all my party planning now and the additional tips and tricks have been so helpful. It feels kind of like Thanksgiving where there's so much to eat it's a shame to get full. There are so many brilliant ideas, it's a shame I only have one night! Thanks again for sharing. Love it, love it, love it!!

And the insane amount of planning and preparation involved! WOW! I don't know when you find time to organize all that, but I'm impressed you do because I'm sure it's one of those things that people never stop talking about. Impressive! You are certainly creative!
