How to Word Italian Dinner Party Invitations


Decide on whether you want to purchase store-bought invitations, make your own or simply send an email invitation to your guests. Email is acceptable if the evening will be casual, but paper invitations are preferred for fancy affairs.
Pick an invitation design that reflects Italian culture. Images that show bottles of wine, garlic, olives or bowls of pasta let your guests know the kind of food you will serve.
Write a headline on your invitation. Use Italian words or phrases so that your guests immediately know the dinner party will focus on Italian food. Some examples are: “Join Us In Our Cucina,” “Buon Appetito,“ 'Mangia! Mangia!' and “A Taste of Italy.”
Write a brief introduction. Something as simple as 'We invite you to share an authentic Italian dinner with us' will make the theme clear to your guests. You may want to choose more casual wording for a relaxing evening. An example is, 'Mamma mia! We're cooking up some fun.' Be creative and make sure your words match the tone of your party.
Include the party details. Give out your name (or the host's name if it is someone else), the address where you’ll host the party, your telephone number and your email address. Remember to include an RSVP date if you need a head count before the day of the party. The RSVP date should be three to four days before the date of the dinner party.
Ask each guest to bring something different. Dinner guests inevitably want to bring something, so feel free to specify what you need. For example, ask different guests to bring bread, wine, an appetizer or a dessert. Encourage them to be inspired by Italian cuisine.
Include directions or a map if your guests are not familiar with the dinner party location.
Stuff the invitations into envelopes, address them and add a stamp.
Mail the dinner party invitations two weeks before the event.

How to Organize an Employee Appreciation Luncheon


Organize the luncheon in the break or conference room so employees can come and go if they need to take calls or complete other work-related tasks. However, consider holding it during a slow period so the staff will be able to enjoy themselves without neglecting their projects and duties. You can also host it at the end of a half day so they can stay as long as they'd like.
Let the staff vote on the type of food you'll serve. Choose a few local restaurants and pass around the menu of the 'winning' eatery so employees can order their favorite dishes. You can also have lunch catered by a local Italian, Chinese or Indian food establishment if you need to organize it quickly.
Give a short speech to thank the staff. Discuss the specific project or financial report that led you to hold the luncheon and single out any employees and managers that contributed the most leadership, staff support or innovative ideas. Also present a brief update on the company's current status, the climate of the industry and news of upcoming projects and contracts.
Take the opportunity to present annual merit awards or give recognition to staff members with the highest sales or customer satisfaction ratings, for example.
Plan activities like company trivia or a 'Who Am I' guessing game in which you list the lesser-known duties of a staff member to see who can figure it out first. Award small gift cards to local eateries or office supply stores to the winners.

How to Change a CNAME


Most Internet users pay a hosting company to handle the technical details of keeping a website or blog online. Depending on the hosting company, changing your CNAME record can be a self-serve matter or an email request.
Users of the GoDaddy domain hosting service, for example, can change a CNAME record in a few steps. Log into your Account manager, select My Products > Domain Manager.
In Domain Manager, pick the domain for which you want to create an alias. Click the 'Total DNS Control and MX Records' link and add the new CNAME record.
CPanel is another common interface used by some web hosting firms. CPanel allows you to forward a sub-domain to another domain, but most do not allow you to create a domain alias using CNAME.
CPanel users without the ability to change a CNAME directly will need to contact support personnel who can edit the CNAME entry for the particular domain. Once edited, the domain redirection should be active.
