No Phone Policy
If you want to immediately relax the atmosphere, institute a no phone policy. Your guests' conversations won't be interrupted by work emails or unimportant text messages, and everyone will be forced to listen and exchange with each other. Make it a rule that there are no phones at the table, and any phone calls or texting need to be done in the next room. Guests can still hold on to them in case of emergency, but their phones will be less of a distraction.
