How to Entertain without Stress?

Updated: Nov 10, 2023

That is the question that is on my mind. But the part of the question that isn’t mentioned is how do you do that and enjoy the festivities you’ve created along with your guests?

I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two essential things we need to keep in mind to make certain everyone enjoys the party.

1. Flexibility is the key to a successful party:

Since nothing ever goes as planned, it’s important to go with the flow. After all, sometimes the unexpected turns out to create the most memorable event!

2. Be Prepared

I start by making lists. I write down what I need to get and everything that has to be done. It is the best way I know to make sure I don’t forget anything.

I go over my menu and prepare all the food that I possibly can. My goal is to have everything done before my guests walk in the door. Sometimes, in order to do that, I adjust what I’m making to make it easier.

If you are having a good time, chances are your guests will too. So, savor the moment and enjoy your party.

I had a seriously great time!

Thank you Adeline for hosting us with such great food and company!

I haven’t enjoyed myself so simply and spontaneously in a long time.
