Navigating Celebrations with Grace: A Guide to Event Etiquette

Welcome to the realm of gatherings with a purpose! Where professionalism meets the art of celebration! Whether you’re the host or the honored guest, mastering event etiquette ensures a seamless and enjoyable experience for all. Here are some tips to ensure your next event with clients, associates, or the team is a resounding success. For the Host Clear Directions, Happy Guests: A successful event starts from the invitation. Your invitation and reminders thereafter should offer clear instructions on how to find your location. Whether it’s a physical venue or a virtual space, make sure your guests can navigate with ease. It can start the party on a bad note, when the guests arrives flustered and frustrated. A stress-free arrival sets the stage for a positive experience. Set Expectations: Clarity is key. Set expectations early to avoid any surprises. Communicate the dress code, the agenda, and any special instructions. Want to single out one of your most loyal clients? Forget to tell them it’s a business casual cocktail party! A well-informed guest is a comfortable, engaged, and repeat customer or connection. For the Guest Engage and Conquer: As a guest, come prepared to engage. Your host has put a lot of energy into curating a guest list and experience. This isn’t just a gathering; it’s an opportunity to connect, network, and foster professional and personal relationships. We could all use a new lunch bestie or business collaborator. Bring your A-game in terms of enthusiasm and participation, but don’t force it. Your energy contributes to the overall success of the event. RSVP – The Golden Rule: The RSVP isn’t just a formality; it’s a sign of respect. Responding promptly allows the host to plan accordingly, ensuring a well-organized and enjoyable event for everyone. Hosts are relying on a close to accurate guest count. Don’t be the one that leaves without a goodie bag because you didn’t RSVP! Balancing refined etiquette with a touch of warmth is the secret sauce for a successful event for both host and guest. The best connections often flourish in an environment that fosters both collaboration and camaraderie. So, as you prepare for your next gathering, keep these tips in mind. From clear directions to engaged guests, the key to a memorable event lies in the details. Here’s to celebrations that leave a lasting impression!

Use Your Good Stuff Every Day

Remember growing up, our parents and grandparents had entire rooms only for special occasion use? I used to have an entire dining room decked out in the finest tableware only to use it literally 3 times a year. I learned this from my grandmother. That lady had style! The nicest clothes, jewelry, china sets… you name it, she had it! But there were so few times in later years that I saw her use or wear these items! It wasn’t until I was packing away items for a big move (pre- Let’s Have A Bash days) that I spent hours rediscovering items that I had forgotten about long ago. The moving truck was half full of table setting, cloth, glassware–stuff I had only used maybe twice since I bought them off QVC one late, late, late night. They were bought with the intention that I would host more in my home, elevating the Thanksgiving experience that year, and adding to a collection to pass down to my daughters. For guests, I thought it made those moments more special to know I pulled out something I rarely use to entertain them. I didn’t realize that my guest, while appreciative of the thought, really did not care! Years later, God whispered the dream of Let’s Have A Bash into my heart. Even HE said it’s time to use it or lose it! Now, I find myself pulling out the waffle maker, the best china, using my favorite coffee mugs in the middle of the week! I don’t need a special occasion because everyday is an occasion! Here are a few ways you can use your good stuff now: If we haven’t learned anything from the Pandemic of 2020, life is too short to not use the good stuff every day. Aren’t we special enough to nurture and cater to on the most regular days. We don’t have to accomplish something big in order to DESERVE to sprinkle an extra dose of affection for ourselves and the people we cater to.  Use the good stuff now!
