If the party is outside, be sure to cut the grass or sweep the deck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the trash can is empty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick up some flowers and put them in a vase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare as much food as you can, including dessert.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-day-of\">The Day Of<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prepare any final dishes you didn\u2019t get to finish the day before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up the table and any necessary decorations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a drink and snack station, complete with hors d\u2019oeuvres for guests\u2019 arrival.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose an outfit. As a rule of thumb, the host should never be outdone by the guests. It\u2019s time to break out that dress or those shoes you\u2019ve been saving for a special occasion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-host\">The Host<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to pull off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/the-five-things-you-feel-when-youre-having-an-awesome-time-at-a-party-the-hospitable-host-219395\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">being the perfect host<\/a>, there is a certain role you have to fill. Your job is to get guests who may not know each other acquainted and comfortable. You\u2019re the connecting link between everyone there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all else, you set the tone for the evening. Therefore, if you\u2019re frantic and anxious, everyone else will be too. It\u2019s important to appear relaxed and in control for the entire evening, even if you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rules of etiquette are nowhere near as strict as they used to be, but some things still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind your manners: upon arrival, offer guests a drink and relieve them of their coats and bags. While at the table, try your best to stay off your phone, even if others are doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing you want to do is come off as rude or disengaged. If you absolutely <em>must <\/em>take a call or respond to a text, excuse yourself from the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lively conversation is an important part of a dinner party, and as the host, you are the mediator by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our parents warned us never to talk about politics or religion, but realistically, those make for some of the most interesting conversations. Topics that may elicit controversy or differences in opinion are okay in moderation, as long as no one is rude or feels insulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s good to serve dessert or coffee in the living room or another setting to mix up the groups and unwind after dinner. This would be a great time to break out the board games or start a bonfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the evening is over, you may not have the energy to clean the entire kitchen from top to bottom. However, doing a little work on the front end makes it a lot easier for the morning after. At the very least, clear off the table, put away leftovers and soak the dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully this series gave you all the tools you need to host the dinner party of your dreams. It may be a lot a lot of work, but if done right, you could succeed in creating a night you&#8217;ll never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the last leg of the race!
