Attention to the clock, pampering the guests and watch out for Murphy: protocol rules to avoid catastrophes at events

• Formalisms, data and other advice that you should include in an invitation to an event

• How to prevent our guests from dying of boredom at a dinner: language, ideology and ideal friend

Organizing an event, even a small and apparently innocent one like the girl's birthday, can become really

You have to handle a thousand details at once, from making sure that the friend allergic to nuts doesn't eat the Nutella sandwich until the dog doesn't go near the gifts.

The week before the party is one

of "What did you tell me you wanted the piñata for? Was it from Frozen?"

and "Fulanito will be here later, because he has tennis after school, and I'll pick him up earlier because he can't miss his Korean class."

Disregarding

thinking that the decorations are unimportant or that catering is the easy part are common suspects of becoming the worst enemies on the way to your event.

But unfortunately, they are not the only ones.

Here are the basic commandments to follow so that the event that you have prepared with so much care is not a catastrophe of biblical proportions.

You will not live with your back to the clock or the calendar

During the organization of an event an exceptional phenomenon occurs.

The days are shorter, the hours pass faster and the minutes last less than 60 seconds... Or not, but that will be your feeling.

-worthy army of assistants , there's

only one solution left: be realistic.

As in the fad diet, you have to set

No, in one afternoon you won't have time to do everything because, no matter how superwoman you are, there are details that are beyond your power.

(Hello, artist confectioner who thinks he is Dalí and who does not deliver the cake on time, I am looking at you).

You will pamper your guests

Pampering, caring and attending must be the engine of your "Host Self".

May there be a good atmosphere and may peace reign in your day.

That your guests are not like sardines in a can, but that there is no more echo than in the halls of the Winter Palace.

May the moment of food and drink be pleasant for everyone without you falling short, without having served so much food that you are hungry just by looking at it and that there are options even for raw vegans.

The big catch is that this seems simple. Pamper my guests?

Easy.

Well, not exactly, because you're going to have to

like an artist from the Cirque du Soleil. You may have an innate talent for leaving your ideal garden, but perfectly adjust the amount of food (and drink) so that your guests don't label you as stingy, but not even a crumb of bread left over that later has to be thrown away is an art that takes time to master.

You will not underestimate Murphy

This is the vital commandment of the organization of events, because it encompasses all the others, including those that do not appear on this short list.

At the worst possible time. Causing the most damage imaginable."

Well, what a panorama, and what do I do now?

Give me tequila from the morning?

Emigrate?

Play dead?

Let's see, let's not be dramatic, this has a better solution than a bad injection of Botox.

The way to neutralize Murphy is

if possible a plan C and ideally several contingency plans.

At the biggest events, from a royal wedding to the opening of the Olympic Games, you never work without a generator.

But how is the power going to go out in Westminster Abbey?

Ah, friends, if we don't have a plan B

the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will get married in the dark and Murphy will take on more prominence than Pippa Middleton's butt.

Beware of rain or cold

Although putting on a royal soiree is not on your agenda, do not relax for a second, because Murphy does not discriminate and will become the most undesirable guest of your event.

Although all the details are important, plan B becomes essential if we plan an

On those occasions, I don't trust Google Weather or José Antonio Maldonado or even a Santa Clara surrounded by dozens and dozens of eggs.

or that it's going to be freezing cold, and design a plan B. That finally it doesn't rain?

Joy for the body and showing off the garden.

But if half a drop of water falls on none of my guests, their hairstyles will be spoiled because I, a faithful adherent of the commandments, have had the alternative prepared for days.

The last commandment can be summed up in one line:

Few things are more beautiful and more fun than designing one.

Of course, to avoid disappointment remember: watch, pampering and care with Murphy.
