- 12 or more guests – the party will take on a life of its own at 12 people
- 2 hours in length -- start & end on schedule…guests will learn to be prompt to your parties
- No children.
- Hors d'oeuvres passed on a tray – adds elegance and intrigue to any party
- No sitting – sitting is counterproductive to mingling, which is the point
- Cocktails served in glasses – ice tinkling is delightful, and how chic is plastic?
- Diverse music – variety adds interest & allows something special for every taste
- Subtle decorations – strategically placed accents will make lasting impressions
