Top 10 tips for
Planning the
Perfect Party
- Plan early and mail invitations at least three weeks before the party.
- Be sure your guests know what to expect in regard to weather and proper
attire. This holds especially true for evening cocktail parties, morning
brunch buffets or outdoor parties.
- Pay attention to your time and budget and let it be your guide --
it is better to limit the choices than to have a wide array of cheap
food and drink items.
- Serve cider or sparkling grape for a non- alcohol alternative.
- If you are serving a buffet, make it interesting! Try serving a themed
menu, ethnic cuisine or have a desert only buffet.
- Be creative and festive with your decorations. Try using candles of
different lengths and sizes, silver and crystal trays and bowls; fresh
flowers and greenery along the tops of furniture, over doorways and
on mantels. Weave greenery and lighting along stair rails, mantels and
around the buffet tables.
- Have a designated spot prepared for guests' purses, coats and gifts.
- Program theme music on cassettes or CDs to last the entire party.
- Be sure that you have plenty of help during the party so that you
can greet, entertain and enjoy your guests.
- Send thank-you notes immediately after the party.
