I can't tell you how many dinner parties we have been to where the host is taking dishes off the table and starting to wash them before everyone is even done with coffee! By the time the guests are ready to leave, the dishes are all done and put away. How sad for the hosts that they missed out on some great conversation! In my opinion those dishes aren't going anywhere ... do them tomorrow when everyone has enjoyed the evening with YOU!

We entertain a lot, sometimes I do it all (that is fun because I get to plan everything) but lots of times with our regular dinner group people we each take a course, preparing what we want and then plating it and serving our course. It is really fun as we get to try everyone's special dish. These are by far the easiest and everyone loves these dinner parties the most - no one feels any stress. We also have often done just appetizers and desserts for the holidays and that is always a big hit.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074013194838958441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-75001331022696743872011-11-30T21:37:58.243-05:002011-11-30T21:37:58.243-05:00Great tips!

I'm a control freak, I like being in my own house and knowing where I'll sit, what I'll eat etc. I don't do it nearly as often as I used to, but I'm always so glad when I actually take the leap and invite people over.
