Tips for a smoother get together

Mix finger foods with a few big dishes

Appetizers and cookies are easy for guests to carry and share. Ask for one or two bigger dishes so people leave full.

Plan for the hot and the cold

Ask who can bring something that stays warm and something served cold, so everyone is not fighting for the oven.

Keep the drink list simple

A warm drink, a wine or two and something non-alcoholic covers most rooms. Put ice on the list because it always runs out.

Ask for help, not just food

Setup, cleanup and someone to run the playlist are real jobs. List them and guests will often grab them first.
