If you want to impress another person, such as your boss or a friend, you need to give them your best impression. This will create your personality and the kind of person you are around others.

Steps:

1. Plan on what you are doing. Are you having a BBQ? Watching a movie? You will give the impression that you care, if you start with a plan. Try not to be too strict with what you planned.

2. Make a shopping list for what you'll need. You will want to be prepared. You need food, cooking tools, etc.

3. Make sure everything is ready. Remember the time they are coming. Make sure you are prepared so you don't look confused and still putting things together when your guests arrive.

4. Organize your area. Take the time to clean and straighten everything out.

5. Be sure that you have the proper hygiene.

6. Greet them with a formal saying, for example, "Welcome _______________, it is a pleasure to see you this evening".

7. Be positive and relax. Sometimes it is hard to control yourself when you're too nervous. Think happy thoughts and blow away those negative thoughts of your mind.

8. If you are too nervous. You can rehearse some phrases you feel safe with. Before anything happens, you can imagine yourself during the reunion and think (in a positive way) what or how will everything take place.

9. Your body language is also important. Keep yourself open. Remember to stand up straight, have a smile on your face, try not to cross your arms or legs. Non-verbal language has 70% of influence in communication. It is even more important than what you say in words!
