How can I be a good hostess?

Question

I'm hosting a dinner party, I reserved a special area in a restaurant so I won't have to serve and prepare the food. It's also my early debutante. Hehe, so I need some tips on how to make the party meaningful and sucessful. There will be wine, fancy drinks, seafood etc. ($1000 worth of food.) So I'm looking for some tips like "Make sure you talk to everybody at least once.". That would be really helpful, thanks!

Answer 1

I would think the most simple but important thing would be "making sure everyone is comfortable". Oh, and look for loners, you could always introduce them to people or something.

Answer 2

Umm well, you should look presentable so people don't think bad of you. Be neet and kind, but not to uptight, so other people think they don't have to be uptight. Shake everyone's hand, and say hello to them. Make sure that everyone has what they need.

Answer 3

Wow your party is going to be really nice...well you could put on some music...well it all depends on why your throwing the party. If its just for fun you could do some pretty good stuff if you think about it.

Answer 4

Try to give everyone same amount of attention. It's not easy though. Don't let someone leave your door feeling unwanted.

Answer 5

Talk to as many people as you can, walk around, smile a lot, be REALLY nice, be friendly. compliments work, be yourself.

Answer 6

The absolute best thing you can do is to know (really know) who is coming to your party. Find out what each guest's hobbies and interests are and find common ground among your different guests. You can find people who are very different, but find that they both like say, photography. When you introduce them to one another, make sure to mention that they each have something in common. It gives strangers a point on conversation, on which they can start talking. You can then move on to the next set of guests, and repeat. You will be hailed as the best hostess ever, and your guests may make friends with one another.

Answer 9

The best way to be a good hostess is to show your appreciation for everyone who comes to the event, and be genuinely thankful. Make sure the conversation consists of topics that everyone can relate to.
