When it comes to throwing parties, people tend to split into a pair of quite distinct groups: people that love it, and those who would choose to do virtually something else. Being organized in advance is key, and selecting a few scrumptious dishes to kick off the festivities will entertain your guests while you try to keep the show on the road.
