Be The Best Dinner Party Host

The Best Food

You’re no doubt going to want to serve the best food, and it’s no doubt the biggest stress in your mind. You know that if the food doesn’t go well you’re set to go and get a ready meal from the supermarkets. Que the judgement that you know is going to come your way. So the first thing to do is to make sure you know your audience. Some of your friends and family might be such fussy eaters, so you don’t want to go for anything too wild. You could cook a simple chicken or steak dish, for example. If you have vegetarians, there are now more options than ever that make a tasty addition to your dinner party. Try making stuffed cabbage rolls, or vegetarian burgers. In fact, the food that you can now find and make from the market are so tasty that anyone would love a taste of them! We’d always recommend doing three courses, it’s just dinner party tradition. Keep your starters small, and make sure there aren’t big gaps between courses. The one that everyone is bothered about is dessert, which you can either make yourself or buy from the shops. If you’re buying from the shops, at least make it more of a luxurious version.

The Best Drink

Depending on who you have coming to your dinner party and what sort of theme you’re going for, you’re going to need the best drink to get everyone through the night. You need to make sure that the drinks are flowing all night so that the fun doesn’t stop. There’s nothing worse than a dinner party where everyone wants to leave as soon as the food has been served. You could try getting one of the cocktail kits, where you all have a go at making your own cocktails with whatever ingredients they tell you to get. They’re easy to buy off the internet, and you’ll still be able to use them for weeks to come unless you can get through it all!

The Best Fun

Now onto the one that’s going to pair nicely with the drinking side of things. It’s all well and good sitting around talking, but people can get tired far easier, and then people want to go home. So, we’d definitely recommend getting some drinking games to play. It’s far more fun than sitting around if you ask us! Beer pong is always a firm favourite at dinner parties, and the cups do not have to be filled with beer if you don’t want them to be! Or you could go old school and get a game like Twister. People seem to like cards against humanity at the minute as well! So you need, there are plenty of games to keep a party going.

As Little Mess As Possible

Possibly the worst part of a party is the end when everyone goes, and you look around the kitchen and the dining room and see all of the mess that’s left. It’s the last thing that you want to be doing with all that food and drink in your belly. To make as little mess as possible, try and clean up as you go along. Or go for one-pot meals that mean you have far less to put in the dishwasher or wash up if you don’t have one.
