Preparing for the Home & Garden Party
Most of us love our homes, and think about hosting a home and garden party. We do everything we can to make our houses attractive and happy places in which to be. The ultimate joy of having a home like that is to share it with friends or with people we hope to make our friends. In other words, by hosting a home and garden party!

The purpose of this website is to help prepare you for your home and garden party so that it is relaxed and simple for you and therefore for your guests. It is written with time and the budget very much in mind. It attempts to answer all the questions which might possibly trouble either the novice or the experienced host hostess.

The Timing of the Home & Garden Party
We begin with the time for giving a home and garden party. This is your first important decision for it is involved with the guests you plan to invite, the amount of money you want to spend, whether or not you have any help and whether you have children present.

The Guest List
Next comes consideration of the guest list. To some people this may seem no problem. But deliberation shows that bringing the right people together at a home and garden party takes as much skill as most of us can muster. And mistakes in this connection can break the back of an otherwise perfect party.

What kind of Home & Garden Party?
Having decided what kind of party to give and what guests will be invited, the real job of being a host and hostess begins. And it is a job, but one of the most rewarding there is. If you plan efficiently from the list-making stage to the moment when the guests arrive you will be able to relax and enjoy the party with them. We've planned menus for every occasion, with or without help.

An Evening, or weekend Home & Garden Party?
The planning and prep for a weekend long home and garden party takes lots of pre-planning and thoughtfulness. We've tried to describe how it's done in all the circumstances under which people may find themselves, from being the happy possessors of a guest room with its own bath, to putting up an overnight guest in the guest room.

Real thought and feeling for other people is the heart of entertaining well. Keep track of little things -- like the whiff of scent from a scented air filter in your furnace or air conditioning system. web products has a great selection of furnace filters and scented filter pads. Turn your furnace or air conditioner into an invisible candle!
