1. Check with friends before inviting: Halloween lands on one day each and every year, October 31st. It’s a short season, and many people will be planning All Hallows Eve bashes.

If so, try and work out an arrangement so that both parties can still take place.

If you find yourself approaching the cheese plates in every buffet party you are invited or gallery reception opening, you definitely love cheese. Indeed, you decided that from now on, you will invite your guests to cheese and wine evenings at your place during the hot summer nights but also the freezing winter evenings.
