Luckily, these top tips and tricks will help to throw the perfect dinner party that will impress every single one of your guests - without any of the associated stress.
Clean
While you should try to declutter ahead of time, it's important to remember that your guests aren’t expecting your home to look like a showroom. What’s more, keeping your home tidy but not overly perfect will help them feel more at home and able to relax.
Pre-Planning
Check dietary requirements ahead of time.
One of the biggest mistakes you could make when planning a dinner party is failing to cater to your guest's dietary requirements. As a result, you should check in with all invitees ahead of time to make for a successful evening where everyone can enjoy your food!
Food Delights
Put together a menu. Once you’ve got dietary requirements or restrictions noted down, it's time to put together a menu.
Again, try not to worry too much about this step. Instead, focus on cooking the kind of food that guests will always enjoy, such as simplistic yet delicious marsala. Putting together a dinner party menu also gives you the perfect opportunity to try out new recipes and expand your culinary skills and knowledge.
Up your presentation. While you may be sticking to your favourite recipes (i.e. the ones you’ve had the most practice with), this doesn’t mean you have to stick to a simple presentation. In fact, food presentation tricks are a great way to WOW your guests by making the evening appear more sophisticated.
Entertainment
Think of the entertainment. Keeping your guests entertained throughout the evening is another key aspect of a successful dinner party - and while you may be keen to just go with the flow, having plenty of entertainment options on standby is a great way to ensure success.
For example, while board games are due a revival, you should also think of some fun dinner party games for adults before letting your guests choose their favourite.
Hostess With The Most-est
Brush off some old party tricks. Being a great host also means that you’re going to be the centre of attention during your dinner party - so why not use this as an opportunity to brush up on some of your old patty tricks?
Whether you’re an excellent dancer or can play the piano - take this as an opportunity to show off a little and entertain your guests while doing so. You can also encourage them to do the same - but be sure to have a camera ready to take plenty of pics as you do!
