In the November Issue of House Beautiful, they featured
101 Party Do's & Don'ts. Since I absolutely LOVE to entertain, and since most wedding receptions are about entertaining your guests, I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you all.

#6 Warm plates before serving hot food on them
#15 Let gets make their own cocktails. I have a few favorite recipes on cards, and all the ingredients on hand. People mix and shake and think it's super fun
#35 Always seat your guests by someone they know and someone they'd enjoy getting to know
#55 Never use paper napkins
#99 Don't be afraid to set up a dinner table in an unconventional or not-the-usual spot for a more interesting dinner or lunch - in the library among the books or out on the porch.
Hope you all get a chance to pick up a copy for yourself, they there are a lot more great tips just in time for Thanksgiving!
Happy Planning!
