Try Not to Shackle Party Guests by Spreading Food and Drinks All Over the Place.
When you are throwing a party in a small house, traffic jams all too often occur next to all the goodies. You can easily fix this by spreading food and drink around.
If you’ve taken over the gracious owner’s fireplace, don’t worry about your living room and kitchen being too small. Ariel Knutson of The Kitchn has a simple suggestion for keeping people dispersed:
People tend to congregate around food. So it is good to arrange snacks at the party to avoid bottlenecks in your small apartment. I use my dining table and coffee table to spread things out a bit and find it very helpful.
Eat drinks in the kitchen, dirtier snacks at the dinner table, and snacks like chips and gravy on the coffee table. If you have a backyard or patio and the weather is decent, add that to the mix as well. People will still congregate in these places, but not everyone will be in the same place at the same time. Plus, it opens up the party for more intimate communication as people walk around it. You can find more tips for organizing a small house party at the link below.
