1. Upgrade Your Buffet
We know you're used to the top quality seafood and steak at JB Hook's so we're positive you'll enjoy serving your guests more than the traditional spread. Consider an interactive food station you can set up around the dining room. This creates movement and encourages the crowd to mingle. We suggest opting for plates of smoked meats and fish on unique breads paired with risotto and vegetable soups.2. Mix Up A Holiday Cocktail
Serve a pre-mixed drink, such as sangria or "spiked" eggnog. You can prepare this before guests arrive in batches to accommodate the party. Not only will you amaze your guests with this signature cocktail, you may be able to save a little money. Set your glasses out around the punch bowl and let your guests help themselves!
3. Perfect Isn't Necessary
Let go of the feeling that your dinner party has to be flawless. Don't focus on the things that are going wrong and think about how you can realistically handle the problems.

4. Make The Dishes Wait
After you've prepped all day and served the loveliest of meals to your dinner guests, don't leave them wondering where you've run off to.
