Be certain everyone at your party meets everyone else. It is correct to introduce a four-headed monster in a clockwise direction, starting with the head closest to you. Shaking hands with a chicken poses a difficult problem. Our advice is to wing it. To make your guests feel at home, offer them something to eat before dinner.
Polite conversation is light and inoffensive.
As host, you must try to steer the talk toward subjects that will be harmless to even the most sensitive guest. Certain topics will lead naturally to a pause in the conversation. Since you're obviously not going to cook dinner, this is the time to tactfully suggest leaving for a restaurant. When taking guests to a restaurant, the host is expected to provide transportation. If traveling by car, help your guests in by opening the door and then carefully setting it aside.
