Music
When hosting a dinner or cocktail party, there are a lot of details to finalize and tasks to juggle. As you prep, don’t overlook your music playlist. Getting the mood right is just as crucial as getting the food right. Music creates instant atmosphere, which is why your playlist should be playing when people arrive. It will help relax your guests. Change up the music style as the evening progresses:
- Upbeat music when people arrive
- More background mood music while eating dinner.
- Slow, background music for the final hour.
Here are links to several curated playlists to consider. Feel free to mix-and-match to make the finalist your own!
