HOW TO

Throw a Fabulous Dinner Party

Whether you’re hosting a casual potluck or a slightly more formal affair, these apps will help you arrange a delicious spread and plan a get-together that all your guests will enjoy.

Extend the Invitation

Sure, you could just send a plain old email or text to let your friends and family know when to arrive, but why not send them a beautifully designed e-vite that will fill them in on the details, while also setting the tone for the evening ahead?

Plan the Perfect Menu

From simple appetizers and salads to show-stopping mains, these apps boast all kinds of recipes that are sure to impress your guests.

Be Your Own Bartender

With all this focus on the food, don’t overlook the drinks. Choose the perfect wine to complement the meal (you’ll sound like a sommelier after you’ve read all those tasting notes) or discover a simple signature cocktail that you can serve.

End on a Sweet Note

No dinner is complete without a treat at the end. Whether you serve something simple or create a chocolatey masterpiece, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here. And, if you want to go above and beyond, why not bring out your inner barista and serve a specialty coffee to sip alongside the dessert?

Liven Things Up

When everyone’s full, it’s not time to call it a night; it’s time to turn up the tunes and keep the party going! Try out your DJ skills or let your guests provide the entertainment with a little karaoke.
