1. Use Facebook invites - These days, everyone seems to be on their smartphones, so you can guarentee all your friends will see the invite. Another great aspect of Facebook invites is that your friends can select an RSVP so you'll have a rough number of guests. It also alleviates the hassle of finding addresses and mailing invites.

2. Pick out simple appetizers - By the time your guests arrive, they've already eaten dinner, so there's no need to make an elaborate feast. Pick out a few simple appetizers that everyone will love, such as a cheese platter, veggie spread, or hot chicken wing dip. The classics are always full-proof.

3. Create a signature drink - People seem to love this. Really, you don't even have to create the drink yourself. Just find what's on sale and look up a cocktail recipe that is classic, like your apps.

Things are looking up!

When it comes to different types of ceilings, there is a lot to choose from. If you're like most people, you think of the standard drop ceiling that we're used to seeing in many homes is the only option. That kind of thinking couldn't be further from the truth!
