Last Thursday, I did the unthinkable. I cleaned for close to 7 hours (no lie) to get my place looking spic and span for my friends who I finally invited over. I’m usually a complete slob and don’t let anybody in my place because it’s embarrassing. But after all the cleaning and some last minute decorating I was more than happy to have company over. Having dinner parties is one of my favorite things and I plan on doing it much more now that I have my life/place back in seemingly order (for the time being).
Dinner parties are a great way to spend quality with your friends. Nothing is better than drinks and good conversation! Throw you’re own little get together with these tips:
- Plan a theme for the food or snacks you prep. My last major dinner party was ‘Italian Summer’ and this recent one was more of a 4th meal finger food edition.
- Vino. Make sure to have enough to last a couple rounds. If there’s nothing better to do, drinking is always entertaining!
- Come up with activities to do around dinner like a casual photo shoot or performances. I torture my friends with my poetry recitals.
- Keep the attendance small and intimate so you can spend quality time with your guests rather than playing crowd manager.
I’m glad i got to be one of the friends invited. I really enjoyed the champagne, strawberries, and those meatballs obviously. I’m pretty sure that 7 hours of cleaning was well worth it. Late night dinner party successful.
