Steps 1-7 are very useful, but I completely disagree with step number 8. I have hosted many parties and have been a guest at many parties, and the parties where the host becomes a guest themselves have always turned out to be less fun than when the host is doing what he or she was supposed to be doing, and that is hosting.

It is like saying the captain of a cruise ship should become a passenger once the boat leaves the dock. That is a recipe for disaster.

If the host has planned a fun filled party, then the host is going to have to keep track of when different snacks, foods, and desserts are put out, make the rounds, introduce people to each other, and encourage participation in different activities/games/etc. Those are all activities a host does and not a guest.
