I am frequently asked about how to plan a successful party. It is simple. Offer multiple styles of interesting entertainment, offer interesting quality food selections and invite a manageable size group to attend. It is a winning combination. In order to offer multiple styles of interests in a home, move your guests room to room or have a change of food and decor in each room. Utilize the patio or balcony. The same can be done within a venue. Guests enjoy different views, different music and showcase demonstrations. Create unexpected pleasantries. Cuisine selections abound and the world of flavorings beckon your inquisitive nature. Trust your own good taste. Regarding a manageable size group, if the attendance is too densely packed into a space, guests could miss out on food and beverage. Likewise, if the attendees are too few, the fête could lack sparkle and energy. Find the balance with the space constraints and decorate with flair. Create your very own je ne sais quoi entertaining style! ‘Tis the season! © Kelly McBride Loft
