What makes a great party stand out?

Any time that you can create a memory of your event that will make it different from a typical dinner, people are going to look forward to the next one you plan. Having something incorporated into the dinner or the party that’s a reflection of you and your personality, and also a surprise to the guests, will always create a lasting impression.

It can be as simple as placing cards with questions (silly or serious) at each person’s place setting and having everyone go around the table and read the question allowed for people to answer, or a surprise musical guest, additional activity.
