As a great host, when you throw an event your main concern should be that everyone who promised to attend shows up and goes back home in one piece. Also, you would want to be perceived as the perfect host who cares for his/her guests and asks after them.
You wouldn’t want to be that host whose guest shows up but goes back with one problem or the other. If you become infamous for not checking up on your guests or recording casualties after an event, people will begin to avoid you.
