Tips for great parties
Whether your home is a tiny apartment or a suburban sprawl, the view from your front door is likely to include friends and family straggling up the walk sometime over the next few months. Whether it's Aunt Margie and her Chihuahua come to make a claim on your guest room or a crowd for cocktails, you just want what any host wants: to make people welcome and comfortable. That, and to send them away still talking about your hosting prowess and flawless sense of style.

Wine charms
Most are too fussy by a mile. But let's face it, fewer glasses per guest is a good thing. So cut the cute and go industrial chic. Hit the office supply store for round paper tags, which can be customized with a rubber stamp and easily labeled with guests' names or initials. The finishing touch? Attach them to glasses with ball chain from the hardware store. Or score numbered brass key tags and tie them on with jute twine or classic waxed string. Ours are flea market finds, but keyring.com sells similar tags.
