Every good hostess knows that receiving guests is a very troublesome business. Before inviting guests, calculate your time, opportunities and organizational issues to avoid unforeseen circumstances. Create a varied menu and take care of the beauty of your table.
Instructions
Step 1
If there are people among the guests who do not know each other, be sure to introduce them to each other.
Step 2
If you do not plan to host guests with children, be sure to tell them about this in advance so that neither adults nor children will feel discomfort.
Step 3
Never transfer guests if they are already seated at the table.
Step 4
Decorate the festive table beautifully. It doesn't have to look very bright. Don't place too many flowers on the table. This can be annoying for some guests and also hinder effective communication.
Step 5
If the guests have not yet arrived, and you have already placed food on the table, then you should cover them with disposable napkins. Do not brew tea before guests arrive, it may cool down and lose its aroma. Prepare tea cups in advance and place them on the tray.
Step 6
Choose topics for conversation with guests that will interest everyone, not just you. Never focus on yourself - your guests are unlikely to enjoy it.
Step 7
Invite even those guests to the holiday who, in your opinion, may not come. If your invitation to the celebration is refused, then you should not find out the reason for the refusal. You can not invite those people who have already refused you more than once.
