First timers might feel a little overwhelmed about hosting a party like this, but the following tips will ensure you have a happy, relaxed and fun time.

Your guests will want to have a proper look around your home so try to keep the number of people you invite to a minimum. The more you invite the less of your house that they will be able to see.
Wait a few weeks
The last thing you want is for people stepping over boxes packed with ornaments you haven’t had time to put away. Give yourself at least two weeks to get organised and settled before throwing a party. This way you will be able to enjoy yourself as well.

Finger food is always the easiest when it comes to parties as people can come and go as they please. It also means less work for you.
