party tips & tricks
Every party hosts needs a few tricks up her sleeve, and here are this month's suggestions to make sure you are the hostess with the...well, you know the rest...
- Instead of having to play DJ all night, ask your guests to bring their iPods and take turns choosing the playlists. Who doesn't love to play mixmaster and showcase their own music? The Bose SoundDock® is great for parties, indoor & out.
- Make sure you have the appropriate amount of food for your guests to nibble on so noone is starving (or stuffed) especially if you are serving dinner. An hors d’oeuvre party should have 10-15 appetizers per person. At a dinner party, have 3-5 appetizers per person.
- Out-of-home birthday parties for kids can spare you the preparation time, wear and tear on your home, and help you accommodate more guests. Try a pizza parlor, your local library, firehouse, or the local playground.
