1. The secret to a great party is to have loads of good food, chilled Champagne, flickering candles, fragrant flowers and, of course, a killer musical playlist.

2. Always plan ahead so that everything will run smoothly on the day.

3. Invite your guests in advance so that you get your desired company at the party.

4. Ensure you have as much help as possible in the kitchen so that you can relax and enjoy the event.

5. Most importantly, do not lose your sense of humour or your sense of wonder.
