4 weeks in advance: Decide what to serve and cook a test meal to make sure everything works. Don’t use your dinner party to try something for the first time. To avoid unexpected requests, ask your guests about allergies, intolerances, and other dietary restrictions so that you can create a menu that works for everyone.
Once your menu is confirmed, check that you have the appropriate dishware available. Use nice serving dishs for starters, a special basket for bread, little bowls to provide butter for the bread etc. Want to mix it up? You could go for unusual serving dishes and mix modern with vintage pieces.
Decide on alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic drink options. If you’re not a wine expert, get advice from your guests!
Sugar, spice and all things nice. What’s better than a stunning dessert to finish your evening in style? A crunchy-and-custardy crème brûlée or a raspberry cheesecake are sure to impress.
