Hostess with the Mostest (part 1 of 4)

Before planning a party remember this: smell, sound, view, taste, and touch will determine how good of a party you really plan. Setting the mood is KEY to a great party/event so keep all of these senses in mind.


Lighting, cuisine, music, and layout will all play a big role in setting the mood. Remember to keep a central theme and expand on it. If you're serving Indian cuisine decorating with bright colors will really add to the vibe. If you're having a cook-out with your friends classical music (in most cases) is not appropriate.

Lastly, take a look at your current apt/house/space layout and don't be scared to move around some furniture. What works best for getting cozy and watching tv might not work when hosting a large guestlist. Remind yourself that having enough seating is crucial. This is also a good time to make sure that there's no "isolated" seating so that people don't feel left out. If someone wants privacy they'll step out.
