The Twelve Lists of Christmas
4 Ways to Make Sure Your Party Is a Success
1. Dim the lights. Nothing is worse than bad lighting. If you don’t have dimmers, try changing your bulbs to amber ones.2. Invite the correct number of guests. Only you know how many your dining table or living room can hold, so don’t overdo it.
3. Leave pets in an off-limits room. You may think it’s cute when Bailey shares an hors d’oeuvre; your guests might not.
4. Introduce everyone. Having your closest friends at a party is fun, but make sure the gang doesn’t exclude any other guests. Get your most gregarious friends to welcome the newcomers.
