The biggest events were always in May. You still had the school network available to get the world out, people were getting ready for the big summer break, relationships were getting fully realized, and it was the last chance to get everybody together and get this done.

A good idea is to make sure all bookcases, china cabinets, etc. are bolted securely to the wall with a molly bolt or other secure method. Some homeowners assume that nobody is going to put undue stress on them, and never bother to attach it to the wall. But a big heavy structure can tip and cause very serious injury.

It's a good idea to have fire extinguishers located on every floor of the house, and an additional one in the garage. They are not that expensive. Instruct everyone in the household on how to calmly use the device.
