After hosting a dinner party or BBQ, do you clean up everything in the kitchen or leave some til next day?

Just a Q in my mind right now. I had a small very successful BBQ and now I’m facing a messy kitchen. Obviously, the perishables need to be dealt with. I usually clean everything up right after but I sure am tired!

If I was feeling extra energetic, I would clean now. If tired, I would wait until tomorrow and hope I don’t die during the night and the police come in and think I’m a slob.
I clean dishes while cooking. and do more while chatting & drinking after dinner. . There will always be more the next day, but not a huge amount.
I only came to say I will never forgive you for not inviting me.
Harrumph!
We try to clean up the same day, my hubby and I work together.
We always clean up the same day
It entirely depends on how I feel. Very tired? Dishes to soak but washed next day. Still some energy? Clean up right away.
I would rather face the dirty kitchen and clean up in ten minutes than spend a half hour doing a bad job and breaking stuff.
We always clean up the same day. I don’t care how late it is or how tired I am. I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I left the mess for the next day.
I’m a next-day kind of person. I realize that objectively makes me inferior, and I can accept it.
I cannot go to bed until all evidence of a party is gone.
Stuff that will spoil (potato salad, meat, wine, etc.) gets wrapped and refrigerated ASAP.
Everything else (plates, silver, glasses, etc.) can wait til morning.
Same day. The best guests volunteer to help.
