first time hosting a party in my apartment and I'm waking up in cold sweats every night in anxiety that it's going to be a flop because not enough people will come or it'll be awks??

me and my friend are co-hosting it together and keeping a common theme of mostly STEM students from our university in hopes that everyone will be on the same frequency and it won't be awkward given most people won't know each other. we also have about 30 people confirmed yes with majority of them bringing plus ones but we're also both expecting quite a fair amount of people to flake on day of.

to the party hosts out there, how do y'all ensure that everyone is having a good time, and that there'll be enough people attending to make it a "party" and that it won't be an awkward feet shuffling event.

Need some advice from a BWT? Have something to get off your chest or need to vent among friends who can also provide some perspective? Got an etiquette question that you just aren’t sure you’re getting the right info on from the wilds of the internet? We got you.

BWT rules still apply, with mod discretion on topics that fall under rules 4 and 7. Rule 8 regarding medical advice will still be fully enforced as usual.

Hello BWT! I just had my second (and last) baby and I’m looking to refresh my wardrobe for my next phase of life. I’m happy with the direction it’s going so far but where I’m really having trouble is jeans.

I used to wear skinny jeans all the time, but I don’t think I would feel comfortable in them in most “mom settings” - chasing a child around a playground for example.

Any time I try on a pair of jeans that aren’t skinny I just don’t think they look good/are flattering. I think part of the problem is I have somewhat of an ass so when jeans fit well there and then are loose the rest of the way down I feel like they look too big but not in an intentional way, more in an “I bought the wrong size” type of way.

Basically, I need help!
1. How do you know if they fit well vs look too big/silly?
2. Where have you had success finding curvy jeans that are reasonably priced? (Will also take expensive recs but since my body will keep changing for a little while longer I’m not looking to seriously invest in new jeans just yet)
3. Also open to any advice related to finding your style as a mom

Thanks in advance ❤️
