Leave guests with a great impression
21. Music is a perfect way to get conversation going. People are more likely to talk to the person next to them if they don't feel like everyone is listening.
22. Avoid complaining about how much work the party has been for you. Guests don't want to feel guilty about all the work you have done.
23. If this is an adult-only party, consider finding alternate care for your children as well so that you guests may have your undivided attention.
24. Think ahead. Have taxi numbers available for guests who cannot drive home and/or prepare a spare bedroom for overnight visitors.
25. A grand exit: When visitors begin to leave, retrieve their coats, walk them to the door and thank them for coming.
