Spring Dinner Party<br />

dinner party perfect for the spring<br />

Let’s plan an elegant dinner party that will make our house smell like spring and enjoy a great evening with our friends. This is great for<br />

a dinner party with 4 couples! Again, how many will be attending? If you are serving dinner yourself I would recommend for a sit down<br />

dinner the most I recommend would be 8. For more than 8 consider hiring a server or caterer or host your dinner at a restaurant. You<br />

may also want to consider a buffet style and have plenty of seating in your entertaining area.<br />

I would also recommend bowls of nuts and olives for pre-dinner while you are serving cocktails or other beverages.<br />

Check list! Prepare your menu, make sure you have enough for the amount of people you are inviting. In advance set out your place<br />

settings, glassware, table linens and flowers. Start and End time. A great time to start a dinner party is for a 7:00 PM arrival. Dinner<br />

parties usually last three hours or more.<br />
