Whether you’re celebrating a big achievement or looking for an excuse to party like an adult, hosting your first dinner party at your house can be equally exciting and stressful. How many people do I invite? What food and drinks do I serve? How far in advance should I prepare?
Here at Fabulous Foods, we know all about the ins and outs of hosting your first dinner party and have prepared a beginner’s guide that’ll have your guests saying “Best party ever!”
Be Prepared
As a first-time hoster, you don’t just want to impress your guests with your spectacular hosting skills. You also want to knock your guests out of the park with food that’ll have Gordon Ramsay shouting “This is fabulous!”
Rather than experiment with unfamiliar dishes— they’ll only add more work to your plate— we suggest sticking to food you know and love. You can whip out Grandma’s beloved family recipe and still have an evening that everyone will love.
Set on serving exceptional food that’ll wow your guests? Let our team at Fab Foods cater dishes that even your pickiest eater will chow down.
Provide Plenty of Food and Drinks
Speaking of food, you’ll want options for everyone— and a lot of them!
After you check on your guests’ dietary restrictions, be sure to plenty of food and drinks that’ll fill everyone’s stomachs to the brim.
But remember— though it’s tempting to order a lot of food, “Be Our Guest” style, you don’t want to overload your guests with too many options. It can be overwhelming!
Instead, stick to a few appetizers and a proportionate amount of entrees and desserts that’ll satisfy your guests and won’t leave you with a fridge overflowing with too many leftovers.
