If you're the type of man who likes to do things right, the prospect of hosting a party is something that could be pretty daunting. After all, with the dozens of things and details to worry about, how could a man not feel the pressure? Thankfully, the guys at Electrogent have compiled a list of things to remember when you are trying to throw a party, like a true gentleman.
Without further adieu, here are some of the best practices in gentlemanly hosting.
Be the Best Dressed, But Not Overdressed
This is just gold. As with all things in life, a certain balance is always key. Thus, when hosting a party, make sure that you dress appropriately for it. Make sure that you do not overdo it, however, since being overdressed would surely make your guests feel uncomfortable.
Scrap the Tap
Take note that as much as tap water is usually something that guests would ask for (How many times have we said, 'Just water, please' to our hosts in the past?), take their requests a step further, according to Style Syndicate. Scrap the tap and go for a pitcher of lemon water with ice instead. Oh, it's healthier, too.
Glassware is a Must
No, you do not need to bring out the porcelain plates. Just opt for some simple, classy glassware for your guests, especially if you are serving wine. As much as possible, get a set of glassware that is high-quality with an understated design.
Wait to Grill
If you are serving grilled food, wait until half of the guests have already arrived before you start grilling. Why? Simply because watching and smelling the awesome grill you've cooked up is always part of the fun!
Give Out Mints
If you are hosting a party that a lot of your single friends will attend, make sure that you provide your guests with an ample amount of free mints. After all, remember that nothing inhibits a conversation quicker than bad breath insecurity.
Being a host is just a matter of multitasking. As long as you keep a good bird's-eye view of how the party is progressing, there is absolutely no reason to worry.
