I Resolve to Entertain More Often: Part 3
January 30, 2008I Resolve to Entertain More Often: Part 5
February 1, 2008Some folks think they can’t entertain because their houses are too small.
A small house doesn’t make entertaining impossible. It just means you can’t invite everyone you know at the same time.
Think about small gatherings. Have a few friends over for a movie night. Invite just one person to dinner. Host a cocktail party before a major event. People expect to stand at a cocktail party, so you don’t need to worry about seating.
If you do have a small space for hosting, try to reduce clutter in the "party area" before the event. It will give folks more space to move and reduce the chance of things getting knocked over or broken. You don’t have to get rid of things permanently. You can move knick-knacks and extra furniture into an unused room or ask a neighbor to keep it for a day.
Don’t wait to entertain until you have the house of your dreams. Plan for tomorrow, but live today.
