House parties are the best – but they take some planning. From ensuring your guests are comfortable, entertained and most importantly, well fed, there’s a lot to think about ahead of your event.
Naturally, you should spend some time picking the right tableware, menu and even playlist. But your own looks are important as well: your outfit will set the tone for the atmosphere of the gathering. You’re the hostest with the mostest after all!
For a day event, opt for something comfy yet polished. At night, go all-in with a flattering dress and a pair of heels to boost your confidence. Heels also have a nice side effect: they refrain you from running around trying to make everything perfect. A relaxed host sets the mood for the evening.
Whether it’s a fancy Sunday brunch or a casual wine-drinking, gossip-sharing kind of gathering, we’ve rounded up some tips to host a stress-free yet memorable party from the comfort of your own home.
