Our website has these and more. This is the full text of just one of them - enjoy reading! Author: Candice Barrigher If the thought of planning and hosting a cocktail party frightens you, be assured that you are not alone. For many would-be entertainers, the hassle and expense many associate with hosting cocktail parties, is enough to make them eighty-six the whole idea. There are a few guidelines that can be followed that will make your event memorable, affordable, and most importantly, stress-free! Perhaps, the most important decision you will make in regards to your cocktail party is who to invite! The trick is to invite a wide array of guests. This means inviting guests in different age ranges, occupations and styles of life. This will induce many interesting conversations within your mix of guests. After you have chosen an eclectic group, mail the invitations to them 2-3 weeks before the soire. This would also be an excellent opportunity to cut costs by limiting the number of cocktails offered. By including a space on the R.S.V.P card for the guests to fill in their favorite concoction, you can tally the responses and choose 2, no more than 3 of the most popular cocktails. Some Home Entertaining experts suggestthat you assign a base spirit for the guests to bring; that is not recommended by the experts at Unique Entertaining. Your guests are to be treated like royalty and asking them to bring a spirit to a party you have invited them to would be in bad taste. You can also decrease costs by having a 3 drink maximum for each guest and determine the amount of spirits needed based on that calculation. This will also assist you in monitoring the alcohol intake of your guests. While planning the beverages to be served, remember to stock up on water, coffee and tea for thoseguests who are in attendance for the party and not the cocktails. Most of your guests will be partaking of the cocktails, so, it is vital that you have refreshments to line their bellies. Finger foods and fruit/cheese trays are excellent and easy choices. The finger foods can be transformed into dainty and elegant foods by cutting the crusts off and arranging them in an artistic manner. You can decide on the menu and shop for the appropriate items the week before to have less to do as the party nears. Place a couple of trays of food around your minglingarea with tons of candles and watch your living room become a virtual cocktail lounge!

"Reminiscent of the craftsmanship seen in Renaissance Florence circa 1500s this handcrafted globe will add elegance to any room. The Contemporary Bar Globe charts the routes of old century sailors based on 16th century maps of the world as it was known at that time adding an authentic touch. The globe conveniently holds your finest wine port or brandy below the globe as well as inside. There's also storage space for stemware. Casters make it easy to move the piece from room to room.Add interest to the place where you entertain with the Contemporary Bar Globe! These luxurious bar globes are handcrafted in italy according to tradition as they were made in Renaissance Florence circa 1500's. The process by the artisan is much the same today as it was then. The exterior of the globe is hand-laid paper which is applied to the exterior of the globe in a manner which is similar to the application of wall paper. As the paper is laid on the spherical globe it is seen that the lines of latitude do not meet precisely. This is normal and the globes of that era were produced in this manner. The map on the globe is based on 16th century maps of the world as it was known at that time. As a result discongruencies with modern knowledge of the continents exist. Some of which are subtle others of which are stark. These discongruencies are typically visible to an observer of the piece only on close detailed inspection. From a distance in which the globe is typically shown an observer may not even notice them. These features of the globe testify to its authenticity as a true work of art as opposed to cheaply made imports from China.
