26 Steps to Planning the Ultimate Party
A step-by-step guide to pulling off a fabulous party.
- Make an invitation list. For a large cocktail party, invite 20 percent more people than you can fit, since typically only 70 percent to 80 percent of invitees attend.

- Send invitations. Mail, e-mail, even phone invites are all acceptable.
