For the Host:
Choose a theme: Figure out what you're going to celebrate ahead of time - Birthday? Anniversary? Crucifixion? Get centerpieces to mirror your theme, but remember, if you're using roses, keep the thorns trimmed short!
Plan your menu accordingly:
-Fish on Fridays
-Figs in moderation
-Bagel bites EVERYDAY!
Note: As host or hostess, make sure the wine is bountiful, or at least have the power to divine more in an emergency.
Keep it intimate: Invite only your closest friends; we'd advise no more than twelve of your bests, and if you're going to discuss religion, keep it interesting because, hey, no one wants to be preached to!
Seating charts are a must:Jude Thaddeus next to Simon the Zealot? Don't make that mistake twice; place cards, place cards, place cards!
For the Guests:
Always bring a gift: Be it frankincense or Myrrh, a small token of one's appreciation and undying devotion can go a long way.
Dress to impress: Remember, long robe sleeves can be a hindrance when passing dishes, and no one wants to find an unkempt beard hair in his goulash, so keep it simple, stupid!
Hygiene is always important: Wash those hands before you go near that serving platter, raw blood can be a hazard to your health.
PDA, no thank you!
Let's keep handholding and cheek-kissing to a minimum, Judas, some people are trying to eat!
