[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many great tips here and one of the themes is it really does go better if you think ahead about things like: where will people sit, if someone was sitting here where would they put their drink? Where will I put the drinks, where will I put the appetizers, how will I clean up quickly between transitions? Where will people put their coats and bags? If you think of these things ahead of time, it is much easier in the moment. And the more you prep, the more you can enjoy your party and people really like that. When the host is running around it makes people stressed out. So plan things that you can have prepped as much as possible. And think about flow - how you want people to flow between rooms etc. You can control this a little bit (not always) by where you put drinks and food. And remember that folks will always want to congregate in the kitchen if you're inside so just factor that in.[/quote]

But I also agree that most people are just so grateful! and I actually find that while it helps to be prepared, not having things perfect actually makes folks feel comfortable. Your house doesn't have to be PERFECT, but good to have it a little picked up for example. Obviously this depends on your crowd but generally, I find people prefer a relaxed party so the more that you are relaxed, that everything isn't "perfect" but more, make yourself at home. The better.[/quote]
