Guests arrive and you’ll still be cooking? Have small ramekins filled with mixed nuts (preferably heated with some spices) stacked by the wine or beer you’ll be serving. Guests will be impressed by the mini treat individually prepared. It’s like traveling first class on Continental.

Have extroverted friends? Inform them you intend to have a talent show for your next party. Create the illusion of a stage by hanging a suspension rod between a door frame and hang curtains, a shower curtain, or even a sheet as a “stage curtain.” Rent a karaoke machine for those wishing to express themselves through song, but anything goes from telling a knock knock joke to dance or even wearing costumes.

Next time after attending a great dinner party, receiving a thoughtful gift, and of course any meeting with prospective clients or employers write a personal note on paper NOT an email and pop it in the mail. It makes both a stronger and kinder impact than an email.
