Host
• The host and hostess have a huge responsibility if they decide
to entertain at their house
• They must remember it is a business occasion––an event
hosted for clients and colleagues
• There is usually a reason for a party:
• To entertain a visiting client
• To greet a person who has newly joined the organization
• To bid farewell

• The first step is to fix on a date for the party after
ascertaining it from the chief guest
• Once the date has been agreed upon, a guest list
should be prepared
• Ask the chief guest if there is anyone in particular
that he would like to invite
• If it is a business party then it would be appropriate
to send invitations with a request that the invitee
reply to a specified person

• Know how many will be coming as you’d need to order food
and drinks. You don’t want to have a lot of left - over food or
run short of it either
• It would be the best to have the food catered rather than
cooking it at home
• While deciding on a menu the chief guest should be asked of
his preferences
• There should be a combination of cuisines including vegetarian
and non-vegetarian. A salad is always appreciated

• The host/hostess should be ready ahead of time so
that they are there to greet the guests
• They should ensure that the guests meet one
another and have enough to eat and drink
• If the party is catered there will be servers who will
move from guest to guest and ensure that starters
and drinks are being served.
• The host must ensure this and see that there is no
empty glass

looked after adequately

than one drink during the party.

guests leave to thank them for coming to the
party
