I adore entertaining. If I could do it weekly, I seriously would. When we get a large group of us ladies (and yes maybe sometimes the boys) together for a gathering of some sort, I tend to have a list ready for pre party prep- if I am hosting.
It may sound silly and overly cautious- but that is who I am. I like to feel prepared and I want to ensure that the night goes as flawless as possible. This weekend, I am hosting an event at my home and I couldn’t help but share my pre party prep list with all of you. Enjoy 🙂
1. Set the tone of the event
Let your guests know what they should expect. If this is just a casual get-together, no need to elaborate but if it’s a theme party, a semi-formal event, a tea party, a cocktail and finger food setting, a potluck (and so and so on)- let them know. You want your guests to be aware and also prepared on their end.
2. Clean grounds and more
There is no need to deep clean the whole house, but keep in mind which rooms or areas of the home you’ll be entertaining in. Ensure those rooms are tidy, breakable and fragile items are tucked away, out of reach or out of site.
An alternate vital element to consider is nitrate pharmaceutical. cheap cialis pills To expand penis, heart viagra without prescription pumps more blood and this makes the erections less firm and unsatisfied. These cures may possibly or buy levitra without rx may well not function. So instead of looking to find out the root cause of these symptoms, your physical therapist will first: Examine your medical history, the current medications viagra 20mg cipla you’re taking, and the many other conditions that could be negatively affected if you start taking Sildenafil, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. 
3. Food and Drinks
This is usually on the host- whether you cater out or prepare on your own. Find out a week out how many guests will be attending (at least a rough idea at this point) and prepare +3 of your definite YES list. If this is a pot luck, ensure you know or have an idea of who is bringing what. Nothing worst than having a potluck filled with repeated items.
Alcohol and drinks. We know alcohol is expensive so have a least one signature cocktail or a concoction of some sort, a bottle of red and/or white wine and some pop/juice and water. Some guests may offer to bring a bottle of wine- I always say YAY as some may not like what you’ve picked out and it’s always better to have a selection.
Bathroom rules: Always, always have the garbage can EMPTY upon guest arrival. Nothing more unattractive and unpleasant than a trash can filled with used toilet paper and wrappers. Ensure your hand soap is full and NEVER keep your best “decor only” hand towels out. Do not assume people know that they are just for decoration. Keep them in a location/spot where your guests won’t reach for them. Have the ones you won’t mind people getting dirty-available for use.
4. Have fun
Plain and simple. You can tidy around here and there but always be present at your own event and do not show any signs of stress. If the host/hostess is stressed or worried, your guests will also feel that way. Make sure everyone is comfortable, be social and unwind. You put a lot of effort in getting the party where it is- might as well enjoy it!
