Dinner Party Planning Tips

Make your next gathering even more special—and relaxing—by following these simple tips.
Follow the list. Make a grocery-shopping list and check it twice. It will help you navigate the aisles and manage your budget. And, of course, make sure you stock up on the party staples, such as disposable tableware from the makers of Chinet ® .

Clean 'n' Calm. Clean out your fridge and clear the way for party foods a few days in advance. It will help you stay organized during prep time.

Table the stress. Stress out less by setting the table ahead of time. Guests will feel special, and you'll be relaxed.

Center of attention. Make your centerpiece deliciously beautiful—literally. Display the dessert, a selection of cheeses to be served after dinner, or even a cascade of fabulous chocolates.

Conversation Sensation. Create a fun dinner-party conversation by placing questions on cards under each plate or inside tented place cards.

Simple Send-Offs. Send your guests home with a treat, such as a cup of hot coffee or cocoa in a Comfort Cup® and Lids by Chinet® to warm their way home on a winter evening.
