If you are planning to have featured entertainment, present it as soon as
dessert and coffee is served so that your audience is not distracted by service of food. In this way your guests can relax, enjoy their coffee and watch show without interruption. If you are planning to give awards or bonuses, present them immediately after entertainment while your guests are cheering and happy -- they will be in their best mood of evening and their reactions will be stronger.
When budgeting for an event, as a rule of thumb, you should plan to spend $20 - $100 per person for a cocktail party and $75 - $200 for a formal dinner. If you are looking for ways to stretch your entertainment dollar, consider buffets instead of sit-down dinners, D.J.'s or tapes instead of bands, postcard invitations rather than expensive formal ones. You might even consider sharing cost of a party with a fellow client, company or department to differ expenses.
And most importantly . . . remember to allow yourself to have fun! It's hard for your guests to relax when you can't. All of hard work should have been in planning stages of party. Hiring professionals to handle food, music and entertainment gives you freedom to concentrate on your guests in a relaxed way knowing that you have created a magical evening that they will talk about for weeks!
