I do as much as I can beforehand so that I can spend time with my guests. I always have most of dinner ready, snacks pre-made, a bar set up with drinks and glasses, and a house cocktail made especially for the occasion. Having a house cocktail makes guests feel special and it's a fun way to start the party. If you're enjoying yourself, so will your guests! Also, the TV should be off unless you're gathering around it to watch a game, election results etc.
