[quote=Anonymous]Keep a box of assorted crackers and a couple of nice cheeses on hand. Not sure how fancy you are, but you can also keep frozen appetizers in the freezer; Costco and Trader Joe’s have nice things but also Whole Foods samosas and mini-quiches will do in a pinch. Keep on hand a bottle of gin, whisky, and vodka, with dried lime powder and tonic. Have a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine (not Chardonnay). If you have room for a couple six-packs of a safe beer like Stella Artois or whatever, you could also do that. Have a plan in your mind for where people will sit and be ready to declutter that space quickly for guests. Have a drinks station, a place to set up the food. Have little plates and disposable cocktail napkins. You can keep some candles ready to put out for ambiance—the wide, long-burning kind so you can set them up and not have to tend them. Have a few playlists or stations ready to go in your phone, so you can have background music and choose it based on the vibe you want. [/quote]
