Entertaining Requires Good Planning1
This time of the year there are
parties, weddings, and lots of cele
brations. Entertaining takes some =
thought and planning to be success
ful.
A successful party doesn't just
happen. Even a spur-of-the-moment
affair calls for some prior prepara
tion. such as an emergency pantry
shelf or possible refreshments.
Remember, too. that half of the fun^
of any activity is getting ready for.
it. Planning a party starts with a few
basic decisions.
Make yourself a check list of
the following items^ leaving lots of
space between to jot down your
plans, I ' . ?
Purpose or Theme: Parties can
be as spontaneous as asking^,
friend in for coffee. The main pur- "
pose of any party is for people to
enjoy themselves. However, may
successful parties have a theme
whether it's centered around the
time of year (Labor Day. Columbus
Day) or other occasions (birthday,
anniversary), or a purpose (club
meeting). A theme gives you a
* focus around which to plan decora
tions, menu. etc.. but it isn't always
necessary.
Plan with the following things .
- in mind: Guest List: Make a list of
those you want to invite. The num
ber to invite depends on the size of
your home, available tableware.
, serving and cooking equipment;
budgefand purpose of your pan\ .
Guests should not outnumber the
comfort-capacity of your horfie!
Nor should you invite more than
_your personally can feel comfort
able preparing for
Budget: Before going any fur
ther with your plans, decide how
much money you have to spend.
This will effect the menu and may
help determine how many guests to
invite. ? ? w
If funds are limited, consider
light refreshments rather than a
* *
complete meal.. In general, it is
more economical to make the foods
yourself rather than purchasing
preparing items. But consider how
much time you have and your skills
jn food-preparation also.
Be sure to include non-food
items (decorations, napkins, flow
ers!, etc.) in your budget. If you
need to cut costs, consider cutting
down on some of these items.
? Menu: Before planning the
menu, decide how you are going to
serve it. If plates will be served in
the kitchen, you may decide to have
fewer foods than if quests, are to
pass by a buffet and choose their
own.
If guests must stand while eat
ing, choose finger foods or those
requiring only one eating utensil.
Review your guest list before plan
ning the merru. If it * s all gu l>.
something low in calories* ma\ be
wglcqme.;Jf it's a meal for a mixed
group, ydu'll hearty food and plen
ty of it.
Consider 'the hour and how
Jiungrs everyone wilj.be When two
beverage^ are to be offered, plan m?
that ever> item c*?3he menu will be
appropriate with-either beverage,
inasmuch as you can never be cer
lain thai ii <*iir?st wnnM th^
items most pleasing with the chosen
beverage.
Plan, MiJhat there will be dif
ference in the texture of the items
offered with some being soft and
other crisp or chewy.
Plan so that there will be some
color interest in the plates and travs
of dainties. Plan so that more than
one tongue taste is evident. The
beverage may introduce bitter, as in
coffee, sweet, as in punch, or sour,
as in tea served with lemon. The
foods served introduce either salty
or sweet. Plan to introduce a variety
of flowers and ingredients. Unless
reminded of this, one can plan a
in every cookie. ... ,
Plan to serye dishes you knou
to prepare. Experiment ith iww
' recipes before the hip da; .

Decorations and Fable Setting:
Parts decorations can be 'simple or
elaborate, depending, on the amount
.of money you have or how creative
? \ou are.
Have enough decorations to
carry out sour theme: and add^to the
spirit of the party without being in
the way. Simplicity is the current
trend in decor.
First, count your guests, study
\our menu and list svhat tableware
and serving dishes you'll need.
Consider placement of these items
nf the table Check ?t for halanrp ?
proportion, color, texture, and
shape. If you have any doubts about
_how the table will look, do a sam
pie place setting or a sketch.
Advance Preparation: Make a *
list of things to be done before the
party. Check them off as you do
them.
Compose a shopping list. Make
a list of ingredients for each recipe
and check staples. too*
Don't, knock yourself out
cleaning. See that everyone is rea
sonably neat, but save thorough
cleaning for the day after.
