Parties Invite to Inspire: Secure Your Core People Before Expanding Your Circle
When hosting an event, initiate invitations with a light ask, such as inquiring if the person would like more information rather than directly asking if they will attend. This approach reduces pressure on the potential guests. For new hosts who may feel anxious about attendance, it's beneficial to first reach out to a small group of close friends or 'core group' to gauge interest. This core group should consist of individuals you trust will show up, providing the comfort of a guaranteed good time, even if attendance is low. Once a handful of confirmations is secured from this core group, their presence can serve as social proof to invite a broader circle of guests with more confidence. The initial positive responses not only lend reassurance to the host but also encourage others to join, alleviating concerns about possible low turnout.
