Design a Purim Where Everyone Gets Home Safely
Hosting isn’t just food and drinks. It’s environment. And that includes how people leave.
If you’re hosting Purim, one of the most important questions of the day is simple:
How will people get home safely?
This isn’t overstepping. It’s part of hosting wel
This Isn’t About Babysitting Adults
We’re not here to police anyone.
We’re here to make sure no one feels stuck, stranded, or pressured to drive when they shouldn’t.
- Planning rides in advance:
- Makes leaving easy
- Reduces awkwardness
- Normalizes responsibility
- Protects your guests and your community
You’re not being dramatic. You’re being thoughtful.
What’s Inside the Tool
A. Host Rights
As a host, you’re not just providing food and drinks. You’re creating an environment – and that includes making sure everyone gets home safely. This isn’t overstepping – it’s part of hosting well.
As a host you have the right to:
- Ask how people are getting home
- Offer to call rides
- Say “Let me order you an Uber”
- Hold car keys if needed
- Make this normal, not awkward
B. Pro Tips
- Budget for 2-3 Ubers – or have someone at your party who’s planning on staying sober and can help give lifts if needed
- Assign a “ride coordinator” (doesn’t have to be you!)
- Make leaving easy – we don’t want anyone feeling trapped
C. How to Use the Ride Planner
1) Set expectations in your invite
Copy one of the options below and paste it into your WhatsApp group, text, or email invite. That’s it. You’ve now made it normal to talk about rides.
2) Fill in the grid as people respond
Some will tell you their plan. Some won’t. That’s fine – you’re not responsible for chasing everyone down. Just track what you know.
3) Day-of: Have rides ready to offer
Budget for 2-3 Ubers, or ask a sober friend/family member if they can help drive people. When someone needs a ride, just say: “Let me order that for you” or “David can give you a lift” and do it. No big conversation needed.
