Hosting a dinner party is something that one does to show appreciation for loved ones, or to network professionally, or perhaps to upgrade a holiday dinner. Whatever the reason may be for the dinner party, it should not be a stressful experience for the host or hostess. This is a time for socializing and networking, so your focus should be on the guests more than anything else.
One way to break up the momentum and relieve stress on yourself is to serve different course in different rooms of the house. Not only will this create a chance for your guests to appreciate your home decor, it will also alleviate the stress of cleaning up the table in between courses. No one wants to sit there as the table is de-crumbed and tidied.
Some people choose to have their dinner parties catered, and that can be a huge stress relief, but you should still add a personal touch to the meal. Creating a special dessert or appetizer shows that you took the time out to create something unique and that you put some thought into the occasion. Perhaps you decide to create personalized place cards or place settings for your guests, or maybe curate individual gift bags to take home, whatever it is will make a huge difference in the comfort of your guests.
