In this short article we are going to overlook the ‘formal’ aspect of a dinner party. Yes I know how the words ‘traditional’ and ‘formal’ tend to go hand-in-hand with dinner party etiquette. This normally stands when you are having friends over which usually you have to impress – work co-workers for a promotion, for example.
But today we are going to discuss hosting a dinner party for your personal friends. This means creating a ‘fun’ dinner party. Why don’t we begin.
Dinner parties are usually a bit daunting, not just to host but to also attend one as guests think that they need to be on their best behaviour. But this doesn’t need to be the situation. I’m sure that when you have your family members round for dinner you need to feel calm and enjoy it and so do your guests!
The very first thing you need to do is request food requests from your guests. By doing this you will be putting you and your guests at ease because they know that they are going to eat something that they like and also have had an input in and also you will feel more relaxed because you know that you will be serving food that will be liked and consumed!
Go casual in all aspects of your dinner party. With that I am talking about cook relatively simple meals, inform your friends to not dress up, ask them to ‘bring a bottle’ so that they understand they will be consuming the things they like the best and that the alcoholic beverages will not run dry!
I would still send out invites because people need to know what date and time, but you can keep them informal as well. On these invitations actually state to ‘bring a bottle’ as well as ask for their assistance in the form of bringing some extra after supper nibbles. You may even receive requests from your friends to ask if they can help in any way. Should you do and you do want help, well allow them to. This all ads to the casualness and fun side of your evening.
You could also add a theme for your supper such as a mystery game or a murder mystery. Or try out after dinner games such as monopoly or charades, these could be a really good giggle particularly when combined with wine and alcoholic beverages!
The whole idea is perfect for this specific night is for it to be relaxing and fun. You know what both you and your friends like and dislike so just go with the flow and make this a great evening within the ‘dinner party’ fashion.
