| TOP TIPS
Decide on a budget before you make any arrangements. Ask guests
to bring a bottle if you are working with a tight budget.
Plan a guest list. Expect around a third of your invitees to send
their regrets.
Set aside a part of your room for the bar.
For a drinks party, finger food is the best option. Set canapes
and nibbles on a table and encourage guests to help themselves.
Whatever drinks you are serving, make sure that you have plenty
of soft drinks and water on offer.
Have a good selection of music to get the atmosphere just right
Have a swell time and don't miss out on any of the fun!
