Party Checklist
Small smells are huge
Many people never think of making their party smell nice, but small scented candles can do a lot. Just make sure you pick the right scent—not a lime smell, for example, which will make your party smell like a toilet.
Right lighting
Make sure that the light casts a soft glow—dim your lights down or get some help from little candles. Low lighting always makes everyone more attractive.
No shuffling
Go through your CDs, select the right tunes and burn them onto one CD. Rearrange your playlist on your iPod and inactivate the shuffle. You don’t want to make your guests experience mood juggling, right?
Enough food
If you have a dinner party and plan on continuing with drinks later, it’s a good idea to have some light snacks scattered around. It helps you and your guests stay at ease after a hearty round of “Bottoms up!” and it keeps people staying late too.
