For a memorable evening, give your guests something to talk about

I like this article by Corinna Van Gerwen (Metro) where she interviews Ashleigh Dempster and Amanda Blakley, co-founders of culture club The Society. The topic is to understand how to get and keep guests talking long after the night is through via  few easy tips. They are to:

• "Play games. “It sounds cheesy, but games can be really interesting at a dinner party,” says Amanda. Try a set of boxed questions like Gravitas or TableTopics.

• Throw a costume party (any time of year). “Costumes give people something to talk about,” says Dempster. “And it brings people out of their shells.”

• Include a news article in the invitation and instruct guests to read the piece. “If the article is about something really interesting ... it could help get a good conversation flowing,” says Blakley.

• Sing karaoke. “As much as people say they don’t like it, after a good dinner party, there’s nothing that takes it to another level like karaoke — it’s always a big hit,” says Dempster.

• Have each guest bring a different wine. Then get each person to tell a story about a memory or experience linked to their particular choice."

A Dinner Party To Make you Swoon

I've just read about Swoon which is "a refined dinner party featuring a three-course menu, white glove service, a glass of Moet & Chandon and complimentary martini reception sponsored by Veev."

The menu at $55 also comes with a "cool soundtrack of, according to a publicist, ''an abstract but thoughtfully crafted blend of early '80s new romantic, opera, up-tempo experimental rock, folk and Saint-style disco.''

Have You Ever Seen Such a Bizarre Dinner Party?

This is an unusual post but it illustrates the creativity out there.. around the theme of a dinner party..



The YoutUbe description says.. "a seance inside of a box to 'innocent when you dream'. black and white, classy."

Song.. characters.. masks.. goats.. moon.. Tom Waits

My hope is to inspire creativity when it comes to creating that amazingly memorable dinner party..

Dreamy Dinner Party

As the title suggests, I was in a dreamy state when I read this story by Mark Liu of a vineyard owner who invites a cooking class due to create a six course dinner party in a fabulous setting.. the author takes you through the whole event.. inside and out..

"Dinner came in separate courses, each begun with a description from Holly Howell on the paired local wine — red or white — and why it worked so well with the dish. A highlight was drinking wine from Shaw Vineyard, owned by Steve Shaw, who sold to Johnson the very vineyard the houses sit on."

Potluck Dinner Party Idea

Yes, life may be tight in these tough economic times but as this article by Joan Lipinsky Cochran says.. there's no need to give up dining with your friends..

"Kurtis Lutz, 33, has a better idea. Driven by the high cost of food as much as the desire for intimacy, Lutz invites friends to his home for potluck dinners. Not only is it easier and less expensive than going out, these get-togethers provide a chance for people to build personal relationships through the leisurely pleasures of conversation and good food."

"In most cases, Lutz and Maquez say, the person who is hosting the dinner provides the entree that is usually meat or a casserole. Guests bring side dishes or pick up wine. Maquez usually picks a theme and gives everybody an assignment of what to bring."

I'd suggest checking out the article (see link) for the full story..
