Hire a Caterer. 2. Hire a Butler to clean the tables, entertain the guests and if required chase uninvited vistors away. 3. Enough entertainment, computergames, pool, oxygenmachine. 4. Enough toilets 5. Decorate the outside of your house with balloons. It attracts more visitors 6. Your motivebars on maximum (move_objects on) before the guests arrive Chat a lot with your guests or concentrate yourself on 1 guest in particular if you want to build up a permanent relation MIME-PLAYER If your party is dull, you will be visited by a pantomime-player.
