7 Apps That Will Make You A Party Hosting Pro This NYE

It's the holidays and you're hosting family and friends for dinner. You:

1) Are hunched over the kitchen stove, sweat trickling down your perfectly contoured and highlighted face, then you realise: "I forgot the mustard."

2) Are already bracing yourself and your super fresh chrome manicure for all the washing up you'll need to do once everyone heads home.

3) Can't stand the thought of 2016's party anthems soundtracking your dinner party, even if it is a year-end hoe-down

4) Are deciding between offering your couch as a crash pad or letting your drunk AF guests find their way home (and possibly get lost or charged for DUI)

5) Fear what the plus-ones of your single-and-ready-to-jingle friends will get up to in your beautifully-appointed abode

Whether you nodded your head at one or all of these scenarios, this is the list of Apps you need to download now to solve (or prevent) all your party hostess problems. Happy 2017!
