VIVERE FURNITURE : Be an Amazing Host With These Tips

One of the things you have to do as a host is ensuring the availability of refreshments.

We’d talked about the importance of hosting events at our homes in the past, but do you know the basics about being an excellent host? It’s beyond just inviting people into your house, it requires to follow a series of steps to ensure that your event goes smoothly. From getting refreshments to offering a comfy sit. These are the things you take into consideration when you want to have the perfect soiree. The following ones are my tips to create a great event and I’m sharing them with you to ensure that your gatherings go smoothly.

Set a theme

Most would-be hosts tend to ignore the importance of having something to break the ice with. Sometimes a simple thing, like making it themed -80’s party, tv show, country themed, color coded, and so on- can give the attendees something to talk about with others, making them feel comfortable and more open to conversation. It also helps to create a more coherent group, and it’s surely a great reason to host friendly events that stray from more formal ones. These last ones are specially hard to theme, but you can always make them bring a small picture, a piece of something that will make the whole group of people feel tied up somehow.

Pick a date

Yes, this is the most important part of the organization of the event. You have to keep in mind things like if your guests have children, or their working schedule and such. This also helps you narrow down the list of people you’ll invite too, because sometimes they will just not be available to attend at the time you have set. Nowadays you have the alternative of sending cards along with online invites, making it easier for them to RSVP to your invites, with the perk that the online option allows it to integrate directly into their email calendar.

Prepare for everything

Events are like an apocalypse, because if hosts are not prepared for general occurrences, from spilled drinks to plates clattering to the ground, the ending result tends to be a nightmare, as there are many things that come with human interaction and those accidents are a great example. Sometimes when you are hosting you have to be the saviour of your guests, and you have to be prepared if that happens. From cleaning wipes to setting extra glasses, you are the head behind a tactic operation that requires plans a, b, c, and up to z as a properly offense strategy. Prepare ahead for every possible occurrence and more; get extra plates, make an extra batch of cupcakes, and so on. People are unpredictable and you have to be always one step ahead to be the glorious leader of operation “Perfect event”.

Greet them personally

Hosting at your house is meant to make a closer connection with the people that will come into your spaces. When you greet them personally at the door, you are making sure to interact with them first hand. In this step you can introduce them to the people that you think will make a great connection with them. This also allows you to explain the placing of items if you have a buffet-like event, while also making sure that they feel welcomed and attended from the start. Make sure to show them where they can sit and fetch the things you have at their disposal. This is your first connection at the event per se and it should be a great one.

Enjoy!

People think that being a host is all stress and no fun, when actually, the fact of having it at home allows people to feel more relaxed and confident, and for you to interact with them in a positive and interesting way. Once you get the reunion going, walk around, interact with your guests, and ask them if they need anything, this will make you the to-go person when they want something and you’ll have more chances of communicating with them along the event. Enjoy the company of the people you care for while receiving the compliments on how great your reunion is!
