How to host a dinner party
It made me
Triumphant
 "I think Thanksgiving counts!"
How I did it: I hosted Thanksgiving this year, and while its not exactly a dinner party, its what I had in mind. I had a blast and it was so nice to be able to have everyone I love in my home. Everyone brought something, so there wasn't a lot of work for me to do, and we played board games. The best part was eating at my Grandparents' dining room table (they both passed away this past year) and using my grandmother's punch bowl. Lessons & tips: Have everyone bring something, bring out the cards and board games, do most of the work before people come so you can hang out. |

How I did it: I made sure to pick the theme and recipes well in advance and get my grocery shopping out of the way early. I ended up having to look at an apartment last minute the afternoon before the party so I did a lot of the prep work that morning or the night before. I picked recipes that focused on ym strengths as a cook and made sure that no one was around to stress me out while I was making the dishes. My roommate ended up contributing a dish s… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I started small - just a few people. I picked an appetizer (Spring Rolls) and a one pot stir fry dish. It was easy and quick and we all had a great time! Read how I did it…

wanted to host a fancy dinner party. With invitations, eight guests,appetizers, place cards, printed menus, fantastic food and complementary wine. I’ve hosted BBQ’s,cook outs, parties and of course Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner but there is just something special about a dinner party. I don’t know exactly what’s so appealing about it but I really want to host one.
aimee295 never goes to plan
First im going to have to learn how to cook.
i made some muffins the other day, they turned out pretty well, but i cant just serve muffins…
I love to cook for people. I used to make dinner for my boyfriends friends when they would come over to help him work on his car and I would invite my couple friends over for dinner occasionally. But I left that guy and no longer have my own place so I haven’t hosted in well over a year. I want to make dinner for a group of friends and now is the time to start planning.
Saxygurl19 is in love.
I actually did this back in November (not Thanksgiving, but a friendly get together). I didn’t record it though on here so I’ll use that as an excuse to host another one. :D Should be fun!

Cassiopeia I keep making these to-do lists, but nothing gets crossed out xoxo
well, they decided they wanted to make it lunch, but i showed my little brother how to cook and we got to use the fun chopsticks and the glasses with the fish on them :)
it was a blast and his idea! how wonderful right?
Do as much as you can the night before or even earlier in the day of the dinner party. The last thing you want is to be still making the food when people are arriving. The hour before the party everything should be set and you should just focus on getting ready.
If all you have left to is “taking it out of the oven” then that is understandable. But if you’re still making a dish when the party is supposed to start, it’s just awkward.

I’m marking this goal as done as we’ve held a few little dinner parties now. Loads of fun and so easy to throw together. Great food plus great company equals engaging conversation, a few lighthearted debates and lots of laughter.
Perhaps down the track I’ll try throwing a more formal one.
