Covid-19 has caused so much disruption in the last year or two, so what better way to get back to a bit of normalcy than by throwing a dinner party. It offers a chance to hang out with those you love to hang out with and let your hair down a little. Here are 6 tips for hosting a fabulous dinner party.
Decide who you want to invite
The first thing you need to do is decide who to invite. This can be family, friends or work colleagues – or a combination of all three. It's important to remember that not everyone goes well together, so before handing out the invitations, think about how all the different personalities go together before settling on a final guest list.
to send invitations
The format of your invitations will depend on how formal you want your party to be. If it's informal, a phone call or text message will do, but if you want to spice it up a bit, sending paper invitations can be a nice touch. You can buy party invitations from most stores, but if you want something more personal or a theme party, you can always do that create personalized invitations put online and print out.
Dress code
It is always good to give your guests a general hint about the dress code. One may think it is a casual affair and another may appear in formal attire. To avoid any embarrassment, make the dress code obvious. It's always good to let your guests know that this is optional as you don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or incur unnecessary expense in buying a suitable outfit.
buy gifts
Buying gifts for your guests isn't mandatory, but it's a nice touch if you want to make things a little more personal. From joke gifts for work colleagues to Tree of life gifts for loved family members. Choosing gifts that are specifically tailored to each guest is a very thoughtful gesture and can add some extra excitement to your dinner party.
The food
Before deciding what to cook, it's a good idea to find out if any of your guests have any food intolerances or dietary restrictions. If so, try to select meals that are suitable for all of your guests or you could end up making a lot of different dishes which can be time consuming and stressful.
The table
A dinner party wouldn't be the same without an elaborately designed table to eat in. You don't have to go overboard, just have a tablecloth, a couple of candles, and so on beautiful centerpiece are always a nice touch. If possible, use matching plates, cutlery and glasses to make your table look even more inviting.
