DIRECTIONS
Be sure to plan a menu with foods that can be served at room temperature, except for a soup, which should be kept simmering on the stove for your guests to help themselves to when they come in from the cold.
Set up a bar right near the front door for your guests, with sparkling water, white wine, and red wine; people are happy to help themselves.
Keep a pot of strong coffee on hand for the drivers, next to a platter of cookies.
