The number one and number two reasons why most people don’t sit down and write their ethical wills are because they either think that it is too difficult or too boring. You can overcome both of these obstacles by having an ethical will party. This may seem like a strange party theme to have, but it can be a lot of fun.
The first step in throwing an ethical will party is to find either a teacher to lead the group, or to find a guidebook your guests can follow. If you aren’t going to use an ethical will expert to guide your party, then you are the expert. This means that you will need to read through ethical will how-to books and ebooks, learn the history behind the ethical letter and come up with a party format for writing ethical wills as a group activity.
The supplies that you will need for your ethical will party will include paper, pens/pencils, photocopies of sample ethical wills and photocopies of a checklist for the steps of writing an ethical will. You will also need snacks, drinks and party favors.
The people that you will want to invite to your party will have a similar spiritual philosophy as you do and will be interested in writing ethical wills. This doesn’t mean that you can only invite people from your church or synagogue. You can invite anyone you want that you think will enjoy an evening of sharing, laughing and writing.
