You've just tidied your place after moving in. You want to organize a great party. Discuss the following issues: Budget . Invitations : info (how to get there, time, address.) Guests : who to invite. Food and drinks : shopping and splitting expenses. Music . Other entertainment ? People staying over the night (need sleeping bags or extra beds?) Cleaning up the mess.

(Plan/Intentions) So I'm going to . and you're going to. Is that right?

(On-line Invitation) Chris and I would like to invite everyone to a "New Apartment Party." I'll make dinner and there will be some sort of entertainment. So, start looking at your August schedules! The specifics are yet to come, but I'd rather plan ahead so that everyone can make it. :)
