Entertaining Tips: Help

New Rule

If you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it! Have a friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/sister/brother help you. It's okay. Especially if it's your first party. Some things to consider:

• Make sure music is on, it sets the mood


• Make sure Food is out


• Drinks are out


• If food needs forks, they are out


• Napkins - out for guests


• Take a deep breath!

Entertaining Tips: Service

New Rule

When hosting a dinner party at your house, do everyhing in your power to use glass plates or at least real wine glasses. Those Red Solo Cups... only festive at Frat Parties.



You can always buy cheap wine glasses at those Dollar Stores!

Entertaining Tips: Planning

Rule:

Only YOU know if something is going wrong, your guest never had the outline, so relax!



If you burn something and it doesn't get served, that's okay! If you don't have guests show up, it's totally okay... no one knows!

Entertaining Tips: Food

Rule

Something easy, cheap and delicious your guests will go bonkers over.



Chicken Salad Cups



Buy Frozen Filo cups, and bake according to the package (8-10 minutes, I think) - let cool and fill with your favorite chicken salad, make the chicken the day before, or buy it pre-packaged.



Fill the cups about 10-20 minutes before your first guest is set to arrive.



Then sprinkle with your favorite fresh herb if you have some on hand, if not dried parsley will do just fine.
