The time has come, our New Years Eve Party may become a thing of the past.
After 8 years, we have decided to not put the effort forth.
We have had the pleasure of hosting hundreds of people over the years. Its been a interesting ride, full of ups and downs. From the couple who were originally our co-host have divorced, the friendship fell victim to that divorce and these people are no longer part of our lives. Then there's that friend who seemed to be there several times, helping me bag trash at some obnoxious hour of the morning, that thing I would do to stay busy as he last guest either exited or settled in for a little shut eye before heading home.
Another couple has stepped up and for years now, always showed up early, taken on last minute tasks, Braved the cold and helped with parking. Additionally, the last few years they brought another couple with them who also dived in...lent that hand.
And yet another couple who for years would show with a philosophy of seeing what they could add to the joy of our guest...putting the party and our guest on a whole above their own personal desires, These two have my respect. They get it!
Over all, given the pure amount of people who have graced our home, nothing has ever been stolen, But a antique bed has suffered the wrath of a few who drank to much...the rest, minor stuff. No worse then the everyday things that happen in a home.
I have often wrote of what was required to host it, the hours spent getting prepared, the cost, time spent putting the house back in order after the Holiday season.
I have wrote in our blog many times, referencing. the interaction with prospective guest. As much positive as there was. the negative and vicious was always the hardest thing to deal with. A major contributor to the decision to no longer move forward.
Another trend, is the higher percentage of no shows. Originally I would overbook maybe 10 couples past the amount of people I thought we could host. This year. we probably had 45 couples who had RSVP not show up, well over 50%. As the guest list approached 80 couples, I knew I could over book....but really? about 40 couples say they are going to came and do not show or even have consideration enough to let us know they have changed their minds? I can not help but feel disrespected and surprised by the lack of manners so many seem to show.
The up side, there has been those guest who have attended, returning for several years. It is very heart warming to have had those who have enjoyed the end results of our efforts come to our home and partake in our hospitality.
I could go on and on...8 years of stories, all the different people we have hosted and met. How it has effected our lives, our understanding and outlook of this lifestyle. the effort and the cost of it all.
But...It is both a relief and a sadness that has come over us about this choice!
Thank you to all who have been part of this chapter!

In the past I have always posted a few words about our New Years Eve Party, I am a little late this year, Been crazy busy with so many other things I just have not found the time to collect and post some thoughts!
My first thoughts...WOW!
It was truly a agonizing experience to have to turn down so many last minute RSVP and request to attend, I am so very sorry and apologize to those I had to turn away, please know turning away guest was a very hard thing for us to do. As we passed the 65 couple RSVP mark, I began to fear it was going to be to large.
We had a full house, I was unable to get a head count, but I am guessing we had between 45 and 50 couples.
By 8:30, the gentleman that was helping us park cars stated there were 31 cars there already with several of them having more then one couple in them. We continued to park cars till almost 10:00pm. leaving any late arrivals on their own.
I felt we had a great group of guest, the down side of such a large gathering is not having enough time to really get to meet all of those in attendance!
We do hope that those who attended enjoyed them selves and we hope you choose to attend future parties!

NYE Party after thoughts!

Another year.....At one time we were ready to skip hosting a New Years Eve Party this holiday season, There seemed to be a lot of Buzz about Rocky Mountain Parties adding a New years Eve Party to their schedule. We had thoughts about trying to put together a suite to create a Party Room, but those plans never came together. As we ran into past quest and those we know, we received a lot of encouragement and feed back to once again Host our New Years Eve Party.
I have wrote in our blog in Past Years about what it takes to put together our Party. Our LesbianPersonals Sent messages Count on New Years day showed 1781 in the last 60 days, LesbianPersonals is the main place we use to extend invites, but not the only place, so there are probably a couple hundred additional e-mails and a batch of phone calls.
I have also wrote in the past about the struggles of all these contacts and conversations. As a host, we always hope those that we extend invites to realize and have respect for what we are trying to do...and keep this in mind when responding. Many do, but there are so many that do not, making the process of extending invites and providing information a real struggle.
The Worst of them are those who seem to be insulted that we invited them, I would guess they base their lack of interest in our party based on their lack of sexual interest in us, But Time after time,,,it continues to amaze, but also frustrating and to be honest, hurtful at times, to have people lash out at us. Some of these are very personal attacks. They do take their toll...make us wonder why we expose ourselves like this.
Now this is just communication, Add making sure the house is ready for guest, Getting the Garage Cleared out and set up as our smokers lounge, making sure we have food, drink, Ice, clean sheets, locking up the pets...the list goes on and on. We once thought we would do the party to save money as compared to the expense of paying for a party and a room in a Hotel...lol..what were we thinking!
So...We set a RSVP list, The Cancellations start at some point, with weather this year it happened fast. The strange part was the large amount of people that canceled the morning of the party...that had never RSVP. Caught us a little off guard, but what the heck, it was kinda cool they were trying to show good manners and let us know they were not coming!
This year...so many of the people we consider regulars Did not show up, there was a group of friends that attended the RMP event, then there was a fair amount of the remainder that canceled for a variety of reasons, So really we had two couples that we consider regulars at our party attend.
As those regulars canceled I was in shock...Would any body show, something as a host I always worry about but If My regulars were going to be now shows...
As it turned out roughly about 8:00 the drive way and yard started filling up as car after car came down the street.
We had just over 20 couples attend with three singles. With out our core group to carry the party I really had no clue what to expect from our guest! That core group is generally the ones that will get things going, they are the ones that are most comfortable with our home, but there is also that danger that they are also the ones most familiar with each other and can easily leave other couples with that...left out feeling.
So far we have received some pretty good feed back, no orgy broke out in the living room...And I think a little larger percentage did not end up off in a bedroom having sex, but there seemed to be a lot of great interaction, flirtation and exhibitionism going on, As always there were a couple of couples who didn't stick around... but regardless of hook up...so many just seemed to be out going and really having a good time!
I hope the feed back we receive reinforces this perception, It was different...and pretty cool in its own way! Made it hard to shift from Host to Party mode for myself, and seemed Val was in host mode most of the night herself.
So once again, I feel we had a successful party, but it always concerns me when the invite process remains difficult, thinking the amount of past guest that would be interested in attending again and the success and reputation of past parties would make filling a guest list easier. But it has not. I would also hope that these considerations would also reduce the percentage of no shows, But the No Shows constantly seem to be in the 50 percent range! So we often wonder if our perception of the success of our parties is wrong or skewed. We may never know!
The several guest that had been in our home before and brought a new guest with them, thank you. It is always my wish we would see more of this.
Something that was also cool this year was some extended communication with several different couples and a single lady, sharing your open an honest emotions, concerns and excitement is a welcome interaction. I hope in retrospect that you are glad we had those interactions and you chose to attend.
I would also like to send out a very sincere thank you to all those who attended. This year, Being both different and positive really has us feeling good about our efforts.
Hope to see you all next year!

Hi! This is a last minute get together open to any couples single ladies and thinking we will relax our usual single gentleman policy and extend a few invites and wouldn't object if a couple came with a single in tow! Not Sure how many to expect with such a short notice, So who knows who show up and how many, we are not going to worry about a cook out or any type of main dishes, just thinking BYOB with snacks, sides and treats!
If your interested in attending and/or would like additional info, let us know!
take care! Bill & Valeri

We have been in this lifestyle for some time, met our share of people, good experiences and bad. In past years, After New Years and our Party I have posted thoughts, Vented a little. Have been wanting to do it again, but has taken a bit to collect my thoughts.
A new Dynamic this year, for some reason we found ourselves on a few invites list to parties that normally we wouldn't have been invited to. We have pictures posted, We have ourselves listed as ample in our profile, we know we are not of the pretty people set, we do not hide who we are.
It was very apparent we received these invites because we also host parties, I am not sure how our parties are viewed out there in LesbianPersonals land. Being Human, yes we hope they are received in a positive way...but we attended two holiday parties that have probably scared how we view this life style and some of the people who participate in it.
We attended Both of these Parties with caution, been in the life style long enough to know that sometimes it pays to keep your guard up.
The first Party, a host with a large presence on LesbianPersonals, freely offering up testimonials in a large and flamboyant fashion. To make a long story short...simply the rudest treatment we have ever received at a party by a host, Almost feeling like we were invited for the purpose of being abused...I do not think we did anything to step out of line, we never left their kitchen, never went near a bedroom...never even came on to anybody...flirted and joked a little..but that was it. The Host made a few comments about other people that hosted parties, bashed a few host, including the hosts of the largest parties, Rocky Mountain Parties, made some comments about us having some of the larger house parties then asked us to leave his home... you don't fit...you no fuck..you leave now. We always respect the sanctity of a persons home...we left with out making a scene.
The second Party we attended a week later...we were so very gun shy, wondering if once again we were not walking into a situation that would have negative results, To this hosts credit, we at least left their Home that evening with a level of respect for our host. Again not sure why were were on the guest list, being the only guest invited with extra pounds. But our host treated us well, Many of the guest at least treated us politely, we didn't play, There was that line with all the guest....not interested, and that's ok, we NEVER enter a situation thinking we are entitled to a encounter.
But we did leave that night with a education, The conversations we participated in, over heard... things that were said...
Pretentiousness.... the Ugly side of Pretty people, Val and I quickly knew we did not fit at this party, We knew we would not be invited to participate in closed door activities, no big deal, We do believe strongly in what we term a host/guest relationship, from a simple date, to parties, I guess we hope there is a etiquette that should be attempted to follow. Knowing we did not fit in, As guest, we respected the hosts invite, their efforts and we partook in their hospitality...we did not turn tail and head for the door.
In doing so...once again we exposed ourselves to their guest, allowing ourselves to be put in our place. We owe a special thanks to one lovely lady, A woman we have seen at other parties, one we have said hello to in passing, Never flirted, never came on to...hopefully we have never done any thing to this woman and her husband that we would consider rude. We Listened and observed several conversations this lovely lady participated in, She made statements, about the life style, parties, events, other host, she bashed, several people that host parties, this host couldn't fill their guest list and invited "second tier" people, that host opens their parties to Craig's list couples, yet another host will invite almost anybody...I don't know why this host even bothers inviting us, theu know we are not that ype of couple...and on and on.
Well, being a hosts that puts out open invites, Never discriminates and will welcome all ages and body styles, We must be the biggest pieces of shit out there hosting parties, I am sure that is why we are not even worthy of a simple no thank you when we send out a invite to this couple.
But I guess the point I would like to make... Some how, To many in this lifestyle, lack of interest in some one sexually seems to be a invite to treat some one poorly...As we attended these two Parties, as we watched several of the couples that were very full of themselves interact, it was amazing how little consideration our presence was worthy of. It also became very apparent that this bashing of others was a form of foreplay. If they bashed others, Bashed other events, then only those that they interact with at the locations they participate in could only be the best! So they only have sex with the best people at the best locations!
Val and I have now hosted new years parties for several years,not a easy task. We put out a lot of invites. put forth a lot of effort.
That process alone has left us so tainted, It is simply amazing how many people view this contact as a invite to treat us poorly, remind us just how unattractive they find us, We have even had several guest show up in our home then be stand offish as we tried to be good host and engage in simple conversation...In my own home these people think they have the right to treat us like...second tier.
OK I get it, your pretty, You probably make more money them I do, Your House must be so much better then mine, your off spring must be so much more accomplished and contribute more to society then mine Your Harley is better then my Jap Bike, There fore your knowledge, ability to ride and the over all quality of your experience must be so much better then mine....I apologize that I dared get to close to you and tried to have conversation with you even as you sat on my couch in my living room. I apologize that 20 minutes into your attendance at my home, you felt the need to grab your food tray and leave. I am sorry that there is a possibility that some of me might rub off on you...leaving you tainted.
Adult behavior in a adult life style...I hope, I truly hope we have learned from these pretentious ass holes and I truly hope we have at least tried to be a little more considerate of those Valeri and I are not interested in sexually, I hope that we look beyond the confines of sexual interest to learn that those that we come in contact with have feelings, have something to offer in conversation, can be part of our guest list and bring something positive to our events...I hope we can interact at their events,, be good guest in their homes, appreciate that these fine folks have opened their home and/or put a effort forth to host a party or event for the benefit of others.
I hope We have become more adult

As we attended our first house party, we were apprehensive, but also excited, on many different levels. We had flirted with the lifestyle, skated its edges and dabbled, but this was our first House Party, this is where those who were taking us to the next level said the action was.
We left that evening, having learned a lot about ourselves, not really sure if we really enjoyed the experience. looking back, there was no mistaking the step we took that night, not just sexually, But that night, we became Swingers.
Now here we sit, Hosting our own Parties now, Guessing that means we have come full circle. Easily attending other gatherings and events, no longer apprehensive and nervous, no longer are those events "Life Changing". Now defined as experienced Swingers.
This fairly new venture of Hosting parties is the avenue that now creates nervousness and apprehension. As Host we open our home and expose ourselves to many forms of feedback. When searching out potential guest and sending out invites, the broad range of responses and the lack of, sometimes creates I wide range of emotions. I could go on and on about just the process of doing invites, trust me on this,,,not a easy task.
Next we allow those who choose to attend, to enter are home, This is the home where we raised our , live our lives, a home that is part of the community we live in. This is the home that exposes our tastes, how we live, our lives. We allow those who attend a to take a look into our lives. A new and different type of exposure, a new risk on many levels, a new step in this lifestyle.
Fortunately, those that have not liked what they have seen, have simply exited, never making a scene, never becoming abusive. For this we are thankful. But it does create pause for thought, what was it they were expecting, What was it that was missing from our home and from our ability to be host... a new apprehension...a new type of rejection.
The Reward and Pay Off of all of this comes later in the evening. There comes that Point were we are able to move beyond the host role and join are guest. We have done what we can do, the crowd is set, we have done what we can do to try to welcome those who have come to our home and partake in our Hospitality.
It is no longer in our control, we may be able to guide, to help it along, but the personalty of the group and its direction is set.
In retrospect, the adventure of this lifestyle takes many roads.
But, we still expose ourselves, Still have apprehensions, still become nervous about our performance and expectations, still become rejected and excepted and still find great reward in the positive experiences this lifestyle provide.
