Here are some tried and tested tips that will help you prepare and enjoy your dinner party:
1. Keep the guest list manageable - six to eight people is perfect. Remember to separate couples boy-girl-boy-girl. Whatever your seating strategy, do some planning and remember about place cards!
2. Invitations - if you want your guests to feel special, send them paper invitations. This will establish your dinner party as a must-attend event.
3. Make sure the decorations are warm and inviting - handmade napkins, candle lights, plates - make sure it's classy.
4. Buy nice wine and make sure it's flowing. Get wine suggestions based on your menu at bottlerocketwine.com
5. Make a point of uncomplicated and satisfying menu - choose a can't-miss crowd pleaser (like pasta and meatballs) to headline your menu and serve with a nice salad.
6. Dress to impress - GIRL MEETS DRESS, the ultimate boutique in recession dressing, offers choice of designer dresses to rent for a fraction of the price.
7. Relax. It's that simple. You will be surprised how affordable, stress-free and fun it can be to entertain at home.
Good luck!
