How to Throw a Luxurious Dinner Party

November 08, 2019 by Jeremy Lindy in Open House

Sometimes it’s nice to dress up, put out your finest flatware, and host a classy dinner party. However, it can be difficult to know where to begin. This guide on how to throw a luxurious dinner party will make any event you host feel more upscale.

Use Your Finest Flatware

Anyone looking to throw a luxurious dinner party must use the finest flatware available. There’s nothing less luxurious than stained or chipped flatware. Use sterling flatware pieces to leave a true impression on your guests. Sterling flatware is elegant and gives off a luxurious vibe. When you use sterling flatware, it will set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Hire a Private Chef

Nothing says luxury more than a private chef. You’re sure to stun your guests with an elegant menu cooked by a real professional. Meet with the chef before to discuss menu options. Give them some room to be creative but reiterate that you’re looking to host a high-class event. Suggest they cook food typically found at luxurious events, such as caviar or duck.

Employ a Wait Staff

Consider hiring a wait staff—it’s the perfect way to make any dinner party more luxurious. Your friends will feel like celebrities when they’re waited on hand and foot. Meet with your wait staff before the event to make sure they know you want to keep things upscale. Ask them if they’ll wear uniforms or dress in black tie. Also, be sure they know how important it is that your guests are never without a drink in their hand.

Provide the Best Liquors

The best part of any dinner party is having a few cocktails. At a luxurious dinner party, make sure you only have the most premium liquors on hand. Provide your guests with a wide selection of alcoholic beverages. Also, consider hiring a bartender. This way, people can have their drinks made by a professional. For an extra touch of creativity, ask the bartender to create a signature drink for your event.

Keep Your Wardrobe Classy

Your outfit must be on-point at a luxurious dinner party. Hosts should look as elegant as possible, either in a suit or an evening gown. Ensure your guests know the dress code as well, and make your expectations clear on the invitations. Nothing can ruin the vibe of a luxurious dinner party more than someone showing up in sweatpants.

This guide on how to throw a luxurious dinner party will add class to any event. People will appreciate the opportunity to dress up and allow others to pamper them for an evening. Also, hosting such a high-class shindig will make your friends see you in a new light. Before you know it, you’ll be the socialite of the town.
