- Start planning early and mail invitations at least three weeks before the party.
- Be sure your guests know what type of party you are hosting. This holds especially true for evening cocktail parties, morning brunch buffets or outdoor parties where weather and proper attire may be a concern.
- Pay attention to your time and budget. It is better to limit the choices than to have a wide array of inexpensive food and drink items.
- Serve punch or sparkling grape juice as a non alcohol alternative.
- Try serving a buffet with a a themed menu, ethnic cuisine. You could also have a desert only buffet.
- Let loose your creativity with festive decorations! Use different sizes of candles, decorate the doorway and mantels with fresh flowers and greenery, weave greenery and lighting along stair rails, mantels and around the buffet tables. The options are endless!
- Designate spot for guests' purses, coats and gifts.
- Program theme music on cassettes or CDs to last the entire party.
- Remember, you don't have to do everything yourself! Be sure that you have plenty of help during the party so that you can greet, entertain and enjoy your guests.
- Sending thank-you notes immediately after the party is a very important way to share how much you appreciate your guests.
