1. You found and sent the perfect invitations.
2. Your playlist makes people want to talk to each other (but not yell over each other).
3. You always set aside plenty of hand and kitchen towels.
Hands will get wet! Things will get spilled! Safety first.
4. The bathroom smells good and has quality flipping material.
Because, you know.
5. Your co-host/special helper's ready to go, because friends gotta help each other out on Friendsgiving.
6. You decorated your place with a captivating selection of fall colors.
7. You have a couple games lying around in case you can't entertain right then.
8. Your seating arrangements make everyone even happier.
9. Your turkey and gravy recipes have been honed and perfected.
(But you also whipped up some tofu for friends.)
10. You've set aside a spot for people to serve themselves that maybe isn't the kitchen.
11. You've got plenty of food containers because you're going to have leftovers (and because your guests will want some too).
12. You set aside more than enough ice cubes for everyone, and, if you had time, you've got some bonus fancy cubes.
13. You have a quick and clever toast ready for your guests.
And last, but not least, you have a bottle of Dewar's 12 for your guests. Cheers.
