Entertaining Made Simple

We sometimes put off entertaining because we feel overwhelmed by the prospect of the event! Entertaining your friends and family, however, doesn’t need to be a daunting experience that we put off for years. Just think of the memories you’re missing out on by not inviting people into your home. Some of the following tips should help alleviate some of your anxiety about entertaining and hopefully make entertaining a joy for both guests and host!

  1. Relax. You’re not entertaining the President of the United States. Most likely your guests are your friends, family and or neighbors. The key is to have the mind set that you’re just getting your loved ones together for a good time.
  2. Plan. Good planning will make everything go more smoothly. Depending on how many folks you have over either call or send out invitations so they are received about a week in advance.
  3. Clean. Having a clean home will alleviate some of your concerns. The day before the event go though a thorough cleaning of the guest bathroom, the front rooms or area you’ll be entertaining in. This would include cleaning the toilet, sink and counters. Vacuuming carpets, removing clutter and, if necessary washing windows and mirrors. Welcoming guests into a clean home is half the battle won!
  4. Prepare food. You need to have a clear vision of what kind of food you want to serve. Remember, you don’t need to have a full out dinner party. A summer barbeque is always fun. You can get large metal tubs and fill them with ice to keep bottles of beer or other drinks cold and then just grill according to the wants of the guests.

An even simpler way to serve guests at a party would be setting out drinks on a counter top and having a selection of crackers and different cheeses. This can be done very attractively by setting out a clean cheese board and cheese cutter and allowing guests to cut slices of cheese themselves. Having soothing music in the background will add atmosphere to your party. In a short amount of time your guests will be chatting up a storm.

Games and other pre-planned activities should be kept to a minimum. This will alleviate a lot of stress of having to do something as opposed to just letting people have a good time.

You’ll know when the party is winding down as guests begin to leave. When your guests have subsided to about 5-8 left at the party offering them coffee or tea before they leave is a nice gesture and ends the evening on a lovely note.
