The Guests
The guest list is important for your dinner party. Not only will no guests equal no party, but you need to get a mix of friends together to keep the party interesting. You can stick to one group who know each other, but where’s the fun in that? Your guests are what will make a party, and you should choose some wines that you know they will love.
The Menu
Okay, on the subject of wine, pick the wine to match the meat. You want sophistication but not the point that no one will eat what you serve. You also want to make sure that you cater for any and all allergies. While you can’t placate everyone, you can make a point of not poisoning your guests!
The Decor
Chair covers, party favours, fairy lights – you need to make this space look impressive and stylish. Place mats and drinks coasters do not go amiss and you can make your guests feel like you’ve made a ton of effort to impress them – which you will, of course. You can have fun with this and enjoy the night.
The Outfit
You get the chance to dress up and impress your guests. For a truly impressive dinner party, set a dress code and have your guests dress to impress, too! It could be anything from a decade (20s theme!) to a denim theme. Whatever you think up, you can get everyone looking absolutely fantastic, which just adds to the fun!
The Favors
Every dinner party needs party gifts. You need to think about creating a night to remember, and that means that you could send your guests home with fantastic gifts to remind them of the evening they have had. They’re not a must, but they’re definitely a “nice to have” that everyone will appreciate.
A good dinner party has all of the ingredients of the above to make it an evening everyone will talk about for a few weeks. Make sure that you craft a meal plan that’s well-timed and delicious and you will be able to enjoy the evening as much as your dinner guests do. Your dinner party should be one of many, so follow the steps above and you can make it a regular occurrence in your home.
