THE ART OF ENTERTAINMENT

Food plays an important role in our day to day life. This implies that the service of food has always been associated with intimate human relationship. For a celebration, there must be a host/ hostess and guests. The guests are the people who come to share joy or happiness on a particular occasion while the host/ hostess are the people who are around to receive the guests thus, the success of any occasion depends on the joint efforts of the host and the guest.

 In organizing a celebration, planning is very essential. Planning involves;

  6. The security measure available.
  7. The nature of the invitation.
