Entertaining at home can be fun, but it can also be nerve-racking. You want to make sure you have the right amount of food, enough to do, and drinks everyone will enjoy. Before your next get together at Radwyn Apartments, check out these tips on entertaining:
- Prepare music. Make a playlist of upbeat songs for your guests to listen to while eating or mingling. Don't play the music too loud, though. You'll want to make sure the guests can still carry on conversations.
- Have some games available. If the crowd is into games, they'll appreciate the fact that you have some available. The games can also come in handy if conversation isn't flowing as well as you had hoped.
- Plan the menu. About a week before the party, think about what type of food you'd like to serve. Do the food shopping at least one day before the party and prepare as much food as possible before the event.
- Set the table. Get this task out of the way so it's one less thing you have to do the day of the party. If you won't be having a formal dinner, make sure to set up places where guests can eat and socialize.
