How to Hire Help for a Party - Continued

As far as deciding if your workers are going to be trustworthy, ask for references. Make the phone calls and check up on those people that you don’t know. While it can be difficult to hire some people that you don’t know, starting at least two weeks before your party, to hiring people, is plenty of time to get your party started.

Be specific about the duties of those that you are hiring. Tell them if you want ashtrays out on the tables, or if you want chips put out on the tables before dinner. Appetizers and drinks can be taken around the room and given to guests as needed. During the before and after dinner sessions, workers should be picking up trash as much as possible. 

Decoration should be put on the tables before dinner. Those working the party should be lighting the candles right before the guests are going to arrive. 

Those working at your party should be told to wear similar colors so that your guests will realize who is working the party and who is a guest. Often white shirts and black pants is going to help your guests know who is a worker and who to ask when they need help or need anything.
