P is for Presentation.
You can have a very simple menu, but if it is well presented, your guests will know you've gone 'all out' for them.
Q is for Quality.
Strive for the highest quality you can afford. As long as you have enough for everyone, you don't need excessive quantity.
R is for Recipes.
Wonderful recipes and menu planners are available through About.com guides and throughout the worldwide web.
S is for Simplicity.
As Paul Burrell, author of In the Royal Manner: Expert Advice on Etiquette and Entertaining from the Former Butler to Diana, Princess of Wales says, "simplicity is the key to elegant entertaining."
T is for Tables and chairs.
Be sure you have enough chairs for all your guests, and don't forget to think about traffic flow when laying out your food and setting the table. Remember to make a seating plan, despite the challenges it may present. And always use Placecards.
