A little planning can turn your party into a memorable event. Good food, drinks, fun entertainment and the right mix of people.
Many people feel uncomfortable at parties.
One of your most important hostess duties is to make your guests feel comfortable. Choose what you feel is a moderate setting, probably a little cooler than normal to adjust for the extra warm bodies. Place a few scented candles throughout the house. People tend to congregate near the food so keep this room well lit. If your main party room is large, you might turn on music to set the mood, just set the volume low enough so people can still talk.
