Thank you so much for your advice, I have arranged to borrow a whole lot of chairs and tables, we also have a low wall around the terrace, which can be used as seating.  I have been given great advice and plan to follow it, now all I need to know is how to get rid of the butterflies in my tummy!!!

Just remember that your guests (French or English or whatever) are human beings too, and they've been through all the same anxieties that you have.  Unless everybody gets food poisioning, what's to worry about?  Relax and have fun.

I just wish to thank all of you for your advice and suggestions,  I took it all on board, as a result, with the help of friends the whole shindig went off very well, there were 45 people who all stayed until just after midnight, and we had a great time.  My thanks for taking me through the process.

If you're going to do something, you should do it properly! Just mooching around the forum and saw this thread. You got it Coop,  Chrystal glasses in the desert with chilled white wine - it really shows how to do it properly. Been there, done that, didn't bother with the T shirt ( they are so passe(accent))  Steve Sharjah (but not for long ) + 50 (in France) ........................................................................... 7 days Ins'Allah (1 with the packers, 2 for the week end, 4 for work)( or maybe 8, or 9, or 10 or 11 or....)    Report

I couldn't do what you have done in a month of Sundays, I'd be far too anxious. Sue   Computing - it's another world    Report
