Stress Tips for Entertaining.f..by G. Gaynor McTigue

Have small, intimate get-togethers.

Big parties are expensive, time-consuming and a heck of a lot of work. Even if you're lucky enough to talk to everyone, it may only amount to brief, cursory snippets of conversation. Big bashes can be fun, if you're not the one throwing it. Smaller parties are easier to arrange, less work, less expensive, and leave lots of time to enjoy your guests, who feel more special, too. Entertain fewer people...more often. Why make yourself crazy?

Keep your dinner guests out of the kitchen.

What could be more nerve-wracking than trying to prepare a meal while your guests are pelting you with questions, getting in your way, engaging you in distracting conversation? To avoid this, strive to have things pretty much wrapped up by the time people arrive. Barring that, if they do attempt to infiltrate your cooking space, lure them out with a dish of irresistible hors d'oeuvres and join them briefly in another room. Then subtly excuse yourself and slip away to finish preparations. Why make yourself crazy?

Entertaining is supposed to be fun, remember?

When you throw a dinner party or host a get-together, it's not an audition, you're not on trial, and your guests aren't judges and juries. Yet that's how you might see it -- something to fret about, even dread. Which, if you're worried things won't go well, will all but assure it. Remember, it's not about you. It's about inviting people into your home and making them feel welcome and comfortable. If you're tense and unsure, that's what they'll pick up on. (How many times have you attended a tautly wound event and had a perfectly lousy time?) So make it fun. Be casual, gracious, spontaneous. You'll be a hit, and so will your party. Why make yourself crazy?
