Anticipate Needs

Whether it's a food allergy or an alcohol intolerance, these are things you should know about before creating your menu. When you extend an invitation to your guests, ask if there are any allergies, special diets, or intolerances you should be aware of. Nothing brings the mood down quicker than someone not being able to participate because there are no accommodations made for them. By knowing in advance, you can anticipate having a vegan option, or alcohol-free drinks. Your guests will likely feel more comfortable knowing they've already alerted you privately, and you don't have to scramble to find a solution at the last minute.
