Countdown: The early bird
Anything that can be done in advance should be done in advance, no matter how small it seems. Make a goal of having all of the advanced tasks done 15 minutes before the guests are due; then, a few minutes before your guests arrive, pour yourself a beverage and relax for a minute or two. You’ll be able to greet your guests with a smile which is the best way to welcome them and set the tone for a great event.
