Be Realistic 

We think this is one of the most important things to remember and that is to manage your expectations. We all have expectations on how we desire the event to go. However, this is not the HGTV network and you need to go with the flow for the sake of your sanity. Things do and might go wrong like the food getting cold or being too hot. Don't approach things with an all-or-nothing mentality or the atmosphere will not fun or enjoyable The truth is that not everything will be perfect and that is fine. When you take this approach--the is pressure off and you can have a good time. You might find that being a hostess is not for you and that is totally cool as well.
