1.) Two days prior to the party wash, trim and store fresh vegetables and fruit in plastic bags in the refrigerator
2.) A make ahead party provides a hassle free party. Plan one or two hot appetizers that you can make ahead of time and heat up quickly
3.) Strategically place party foods throughout the entertainment area. This tip will encourage mingling since guests often gravitate to food and beverage areas.
4.) Mark your food tables with theme food signs to add some fun and color to your tables.
5.) Use disposable dinnerware, utensils, cups and napkins to reduce the amount of clean up time
6.) Create a centerpiece for the food table that is related to the theme of the party
7.) If you are having a dinner party, create your own napkin rings for a conversation piece
8.) Make place cards with a special gift for your dinner guests
9.) Have coffee available towards the end of your party for your guests
10.) Enjoy yourself! Planning ahead is important for you to be able to mingle with your guests. Remember anything that can be done ahead of time "do it" so you can be a guest at your own party without any stress.
