Music and Entertainment
Quiet, mellow music encourages guests to relax and feel at home. Craft an appropriate playlist and have it on before guests arrive. Additionally, fun games are a great way to help guests mingle and get to know each other; games that have your guests working together to solve a puzzle, guess a song, or name a celebrity get people laughing and talking and lighten the mood.
When all is said and done—no matter how much your guests enjoy the food—what they’ll really remember is how you made them feel welcome in your home and how much they enjoyed spending time together. Keep it simple, keep it classy, keep the focus on your guests, and your next family-style dinner party is sure to be a success.
