When hosting aim for being calm and collected, know all your guests, be sure to have planned and prepared everything and be ready to bluff if something goes wrong… that way your guests shall never know!

If your guests don’t know each other – that could get you into tricky and sticky situations – better to opt for smaller table so conversation can become easier.

If you have invited people to join in a celebration, let them take a piece of the event with them by organising party favours to take away with them. They don’t have to be elaborate, just thoughtful.
