Hosting your foodies’ get-together - The 514FC Guideline
Hosting your foodies’ get-together
The 514FC Guideline
Choose your Guests
Your guest list is an important task when hosting a dinner. Choosing your guest list first will be easier for you to determine the menu that you will be cooking.
Deciding on the Menu
The choice of the dishes and drinks will depend on the occasion, the season, the time of the day or the number of guests. Opt for light dishes during summer and more nourishing ones in winter. Also, remember to ask if any of your guests have allergies and try to work around them to make their life easier. It is a thoughtful way to tell to your guests that you value them.
Send your invitations
The best way to go is to send your invitations at least two weeks ahead by email or calling them; try not to use facebook events. You know your guests and you usually have their numbers so give them a call and tell them about it, it is a much nicer way to do so. Also remember to ask to your guests if they are bringing a date and make sure to give them a deadline to confirm their presence.
Drinks
There are two choices, you can buy drinks on the market or make your own drink. What we like do is to make a large amount of a lemonade or punch and use a beverage dispenser. It is an easy and classy way to present your drink and there will be plenty for the whole evening. Now, that you have an idea of how to host a dinner it is time to get to work and make it happen. A detailed checklist will follow and will help you to get organized throughout the planning and also on the ‘Jour-J’.
