The AH&L staff loves a good party. We also love to entertain at home. But it’s hard work. Or, rather, we think it’s hard work. But on The Peak of Chic today, local blogger and tastemaker Jennifer Boles shows us how to throw an easy, fun dinner party on a school night! And, she’s right—Cafe Lapin is delish! (I ate there every Friday this summer just to have the lemon meringue pie.)

I’m doing a final check of the copy for our November issue before it goes into layout later this week. Here’s a sneak peek at one of designer Phoebe Howard’s top 10 tips for holiday entertaining. This one, however, is good enough for year-round use!
Be mindful of your guests’ schedules the following day and choose the appropriate start and end time. Make sure the evening progresses at a comfortable pace. There is nothing worse than feeling trapped at a late night party because the hostess is either unorganized or unaware. Keep an eye on the time. Make a schedule: One hour for cocktails, one hour for dinner, 30 minutes for dessert, and try to adhere to it. (Of course some parties take on a life of their own and when that happens, go with it!)
