A complete guide to everything you need to know.
Consider your venue carefully.
You don't need to go all out and hire a fancy venue, but if you're going to be reeling, you need to make sure you've got enough room. Nothing worse than not having enough space for a spontaneous ceilidh.

Invite a good crowd.
Get all of your best pals together for the event. Food, music, drinking AND dancing? It's basically just second Christmas.
Get your tartan on.
It's not a Burns Supper if you ain't got no tartan. You don't have to be in a kilt or tartan trousers, but a piece of tartan material around the waist of your dress, or a pair of tartan socks will do the job.
Tartan decorations are a great idea too, you can get material fairly cheaply from haberdashers on the high street.
Food is important.
You don't *have* to have Haggis, but I'm not sure Rabbie Burns himself would be pleased if you didn't. If you don't want to serve it as your main course, you could always involve it in a starter instead.
Some alternatives to the main event include haggis nachos, haggis pizza and a haggis Scotch Egg, all of which can be found here.
