    My daughter when she was two once said she liked something she did 'lasterday night'. She is in her 40's now and we still refer to last evening as lasterday night. Also I love your videos especially when you are sitting in front of the longhorn pic...and the horns seem to be coming off your head. I always laugh at how cute it looks! Only you can pull off horns honey and look beautiful! Thanks for the dinner party advice...it was all spot on!

      Haha! In Spanish there's actually a word for that - "anoche", which is like "ayer" (yesterday) + "noche" (night).

    1. Consider the Guest List.
    2. Entertainment according to the type of guests you are inviting. Conversation, indoor games, board, movie, makeover etc. It is not only about dinner but the whole evening.
    3. Decide Menu. Ask if they have any allergies.
    4. Layout. Chic , fun , rock you decide.
    5. Ambiance. Candle, flowers, light, temperature. Playlist.
    6. Seating arrangement. Casual, floor seating.
    7. Plate setting. Make some difference with name cards, beautifully plate setting, chicy brand for disposibles.

      KLongares my brothers friends are really guilty of this, my mum put a photo frame up with a sign in it saying 'Due to life, please leave by 11pm and take your trash with you'. I completely recommend doing something similar and aimed more towards your family than the sign we had which was mostly for 18yr old boys.

    Great ideas. Unfortunately, the dinner party has gone the way of the dinosaur due to the proliferation of self-imposed dietary restrictions. If you have allergies, I'll accommodate that of course, or if I know you're vegetarian, I'll make sure you have options, but I'm not catering to 12 different diets.

      I don't think it is, but I would warn them in advance. Because I'm still young, I still manage to get away with mass texting family or house etiquette to friends and family who aren't aware. With my more formal friends and family that might be uncomfortable about something, I call and talk to them in advance to make sure they can feel comfortable.
