When planning your dinner, you should schedule no more than 3-4
courses. Beyond that the logistics become too complicated. Colorful
pitchers of beverages or wine bottles are perfect for refreshments.
Finger foods are a must, so have plenty of napkins on hand.
Here are suggestions for potential courses:
* Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails
* An appetizer course
* A first course such as soup, salad or pasta
* The main course including side dishes Cheese, fruit and nuts
* Dessert
If you wish to add impressionist music, torrent some dreamy songs of
Ravel or Debussey. French impressionist music continued to develop in
the work of Maurice Ravel, Delius, Respighi and de Falla. If this
music fails to amuse the guests, well, Impressionism will have to give
way to rock or country!
Make sure all the product-pitching technologies are in perfect working
order, before the party. Do a run-through of your prepared slides, to
make sure they're all right-side up. Make sure the projector hasn't
burnt out, and hook it up to the *nix laptop, not the Win* one. Either
way, familiarize with and use the more stable OpenOffice Impress
technology, rather than PowerPoint.
Plan on at least a three hour evening.
