Tips for the Holiday Host/Hostess

Tips for the Holiday Host/Hostess

1. Be sure to list a start time and an ending time on your invitation.
2. Be sure to invite a mix of new friends and forever friends.
3. Be sure not to invite recently separated couples or friends having relationship problems.
4. Be prepared for someone to arrive early.  It is rude, but some people just don’t know better.
5. Be sure to have plenty of food.  You don’t have to put all the food out at once.  Add food to the table throughout the evening.
6. Be receptive to others that want to help with serving food and drinks.
7. Be responsible.  Limit the type of alcohol you serve and have plenty of water and soft drinks.
8. Be a good host/hostess and mingle.  People came to visit with you.
9. Be calm if something gets spilt or broken.  Try not to get upset and make the person feel worse.
10. Be sure to put on both Holiday music and some other types of music.  Keep the volume at a level that allows people to hear each other talk.
