You’ll be using an app to communicate with your guests throughout the evening, so choose one that everyone is familiar with, and consider having a trial call beforehand.
Setting the Table
Recreate the authentic dinner party atmosphere by setting the table the same way you do when having guests over – fresh flowers, good china, fancy silverware and all!
for our february tabletop i came across these acrylic boxes on amazon (don’t ask me how, i go down some interesting rabbit holes on there 
) and then the terra cotta plates. once i find pieces i love and have to use i usually bring them home and start to pull from what i have to fill the tabletop out. and i feel like the day of, the flowers finally pull it all together. you can see more from this shoot on the blog (link in profile) or shop all the pieces we used on @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2KwaJ @liketoknow.it.homeLight Conversation
Chances are you’re being bombarded with information about the current health crises from all sides, so use this evening with your friends to relax and unwind by discussing lighter topics.
Dressing the Part
You can also enhance the feeling you’re at a real dinner party by ditching your sweatpants for one evening and putting on your favorite dress and a pair of high heels.

]]>Guest Involvement
The best way to release stress from a party is to delegate! When guests arrive, give them a cocktail as well as a task! Whether that’s to make the salad dressing, to set the table, etc., don’t be afraid to ask for help! It will make everyone feel involved and responsible.
Cleaning
Most people think you have to clean your entire house before people arrive for a dinner party, but that’s just not true. Make sure your bathroom is clean and that your living room is tidy enough, but that’s about it. Showing people how you really live will make them feel good about themselves and less intimated.
Order Food
If you love hosting but hate cooking, order food! No matter how the food got there, people will be grateful to be with you.
so good but does anyone else feel like they never want to eat again after having curry because same
