How to host a great party:
1.
Plan ahead, it's attention to detail that makes the
difference. Allow plenty of time to prepare for your party, make a
list and shop smart. Things are hectic when party-time approaches so
stay organized.
2. Choose your finger snacks carefully. Choose
foods that complement each other. Try setting a theme for the food
in each room or on each table. Allow 4 to 6 hot hors d'oeurves per
person. Don't serve gooey, drippy sauces near expensive rugs or
furniture. Keep some carpet cleaner on hand, just in case.
3. Written invites are a great idea. Try to make them fun and
different. Use your personality but don't forget the basics like:
hours. Tell your guests when the party starts and when it will end.
Specify the hour in advance to avoid confusion. Let your guests know
what kind of attire is appropriate. If your anticipating a
semi-formal gathering let them know
4. Providing a guest book can be much fun and help make the party
memorable. Don't be afraid to put out a guest book and invite your
partiers to sign-in as they arrive.
5. Create a festive party atmosphere with decorations, scents and
music. Use scented candles or simmer a pot of water with cinnamon
and citrus fruit to fill the house with a delightful aroma. Choose
your favorite music and have it playing softly in the background
when guests arrive. Consider unplugging or removing your television
if it's located in the party area. Nothing spoils the interaction of
guests quicker than a group of people huddled around a television
set. Kill your TV! (at least for the party).
6. Creative lighting will contribute much to the atmosphere. Try
replacing some bulbs with colored lamps or low wattage bulbs. Strobe
lights and black lamps can add to the fun.
7. Music is an important element of most parties. If pre-recorded
music is to be used, consider the musical preferences of your
guests. Have a variety of music available. Put your depressing music
selections away, keep the music upbeat and "mass appeal" for best
results. Music helps set mood, so use with discretion.
8. A scented candle in the bathroom is a nice touch. Leave an
extra roll of toilet tissue in easy view.
9. You can never have too much food at a party. Be sure to have
plenty of hot coffee and snacks on hand for late in the evening.
10. It's always a good idea to bring a small gift to a party even
if the host or hostess instructs you not to in the invitation. Bring
along a bottle of wine, some flowers, or chocolates to show your
appreciation
