So, make a short (or long) list of guests and, to find out how many people will be present, ask them to confirm their attendance by returning the invitation card. Obviously, to maximize the short delay, this can also be done by email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Pre Dinner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before calling everyone to the table, let your guests lounge in the living room where they can mingle and get comfortable. Don\u2019t be shy \u2013 participate in conversations and entertain your guests with games and anecdotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Mood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set the right tone to your evening dinner with the right lighting and background music. Dimming the lights and adding non-scented candles around the room will help bring some warmth to your dinner\u2019s atmosphere. For music, keep the volume low and relaxing \u2013 it should complement the dinner, not overshadow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A small Taste<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve appetizers and beverages to your guests in the living room to get the evening started. This is great when you need more time to prepare the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2116 5 of The Guide to Hosting a Dinner Party: The Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Table&#8217;s Presentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll impress your guests.Use place cards so guests know where to sit. Embellish your table with crystal, china, silver and fine linen cloths. For your table\u2019s centrepiece, make sure it isn\u2019t too tall to block your guests\u2019 view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel free to offer a few cocktails and wines that will fit well with the main course. Also offer alternatives such as mocktails, juices or soft drinks (to make more refined, do not hesitate to take products from the range of <a href=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/en\/fine-dining\/fever-tree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fever-Tree<\/a> which all offer interesting alternatives to major brands. Do not hesitate to buy larger size bottles such as magnums to have a minimum of bottles on your table. Make sure your guests&#8217; glasses are always full, both with wine and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Serving Dinner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warm up your dinner plates in the oven or rinse them in hot water before preparing and garnishing in the kitchen. Serve the female who\u2019s seated on the right side of the host first, then follow counterclockwise around the table \u2013 the host should be the last one served. When serving plates, always be on a guest\u2019s left side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time for dessert<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear the table of all dishes and glasses before you serve dessert and coffee. Keep it short and sweet, with nothing too heavy especially after a delicious full-course meal. In the worst case, they may request a second dessert service. Do not hesitate to offer them a second portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>After Dinner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t start cleaning yet, you deserve some rest. Enjoy a post-dinner conversation with your guests and gracefully accept any compliments. Once everyone leaves, you can start clearing the table and washing the dishes. Here\u2019s to a successful dinner. Also make sure all your guests who came by car are able to drive. Feel free to keep them for the night, call them a taxi or ride service like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.operationnezrouge.com\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Operation Red Nose<\/a>. Keep the numbers very far away, it will be less embarrassing for your guests. And now, this is the perfect way to make a priceless dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here you are ready for your evening.
