1. Use great trays………you can always find some really great trays rather than paper plates at garage sales or flea markets.
2. Either serve all finger foods or provide forks.
3. Have a backup appetizer. I always have a sleeve of crackers and cheese or a tub of great dip and pita chips on hand. Always.
4. Serve bite size desserts. People rarely want a full dessert after a huge dinner.
5. Use fresh flowers. They are cheap at Kroger or Tom Thumb.
6. Keep great candles on hand. They can make the house smell like a party in no time for guests who drop by unexpectedly.
7. Move dessert and coffee to away from the dinner table. People enjoy conversation in a different location than from the dinner table.
8. Don’t put the food table next to the bar area to avoid party traffic jams.
9. Wine is cheap – buy plenty and your friends will always feel welcome.
10. Use the good china – it’s why your Mother made you get it when you got married.
