Decor and Atmosphere

In addition, for your dinner party, set the table and adding in decor ahead of time with a full range of cutlery, cloth napkins and any dishware necessary to help prepare you for an evening of hosting guests.
Consider playing light background music from the living room or kitchen area to help set a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.
