A dinner party blog dedicated to helping you create more meaningful gatherings with friends.
More purpose, less admin.
Having a clear purpose for your dinner party will make you a better host and help prime your guests. By focusing less on logistics and more on why you’re gathering, you’ll feel less stressed and spend less time fussing over the little things that don’t actually matter.
Get uncomfortable.
Sure, small talk and gossip is fun but what do you really get out of it? Not much. Instead, guide your dinner party’s conversations by introducing activities and conversation starters even before your event begins.
Stop striving for perfection.
A little imperfection is endearing. Use what you have, don’t buy fancy ingredients if you can’t afford them, and make wholesome, good food. Your guests will love whatever you make!
