Giving a dinner party is a way of entertaining people. You can also make new friends and give others the chance to get to know each other better.
It needs planning, though. First make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of men and women. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun!
When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians, who can eat or drink certain things for religious reasons.
Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s favorite drinks.
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure you buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can help you carry it!
On the day, start cooking early. Giving people appetizers like Greek maze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have the good time-You’ve earned it.
