Choose Guests Wisely
A big part of any party is who's invited. Unless you're auditioning to have your own reality television series (in which case, you should keep some extra wine in hand to throw in people's faces), make sure that the group you are inviting will get along well. Be sure that personalities don't clash, and if you absolutely have to have both frenemies there, have a plan of action to diffuse the situation quickly. On the other side of the scale, you may want to have a good mix of introverts and extroverts to encourage conversation, while still maintaining a comfortable atmosphere for everybody.
