On the 21 of March 2011 we were celebrating the birthday of son and he was only turning two years old. We had a guest of about 20 kids and 15 adults which were mine friends and my girlfriend friends. We bought party packs and hired jumping castle for the kids so that they can enjoy themselves.
However we ended up having uncontrolable numbers kids and adults, we run out of food and drinks we ordered for invited guests. It was difficult to ask them to leave as we could not accomodate all of them , it was becaming over crowded and the space was not adequate for everyone. What made it worse gate crashes demanded food and alcohol.
The situation was very complex as it was not easy to ask them to leave. There was two things come to my mined. (It was culture and i did not want spoil the party of my son to ask people to leave) In our communities people invite themselves unlike other cultures and other communities whereby they wait for invite. We decided to start with people were officially invited than unvited guest will be the last to be served. In a nutshell it was parked and we had a great time until late.
The so called party animals did not want to leave as it was monday afternoon and we were wanted to rest for work. I over head some people saying, we will party until the morning, we will just put sick leave ngomso. They forget it was monday and it was a two year old baby boy not 40 or 60 year old person. So my questions to you guys, how do you avoid such situation in future?

Gatecrashers always make the party much more fun, but only when the invited guests have been served and dancing already. The only way to avoid such situations is to host the party at a hired venue very far from home so that only the invited guests can reach the destination and only enter nge-invitations zabo kwi venue.
