Dayka'S TOP tips for being a
fabulous hostess
1
CREATE YOUR OWN SIGNATURE COCKTAIL for the night and give it a catchy name. You don't need to be a world-class bartender to create a special drink for your night. Start with your favorite mixed drink and then play with the ratios to switch it up a bit. Consider throwing in a few substitutions -- fresh pineapple juice instead of orange juice and voila! Your guests will be enjoying "Dayka Dynamo" in no time.
INVEST IN A GAME OF TABLETOPICS -- you won't be sorry. You'll never have to worry about the conversation getting stale and as an added bonus, you'll learn a lot about the people you think you know. It's a blast!
I'M HUGE ON HAND-WRITTEN THANK YOU CARDS and small gifts, so consider handing out a parting gift to your guests as they leave. Get creative and have fun with it!
