Host a Mediterranean Night
The first warm days of spring give us all a taste of summer! So, what’s better to celebrate the warmer days than hosting a Mediterranean-inspired dinner party?!
You might consider throwing a tapas and wine event, or you could make it a greek night by trying out a greek chicken marinade and dotting the dinner table with olives, fresh produce, and spreads such as tzatziki.
When hosting a themed night, make sure you have the right music and decor to create a truly immersive atmosphere!
Make Home-Made Pasta or Pizza With Your Friends
Looking for an even more engaging experience for your guests? Consider inviting your friends and family around to make pizza or pasta at home! To organize this kind of event, make sure you have all the tools needed, including an efficient oven, ingredients, and pasta makers.
Additionally, while your friends test out their cooking skills, don’t forget to serve snacks and drinks – Italian wine or Aperol Spritz might make for the best pairing!
Create a Plant-Based Menu
If you are looking to celebrate the upcoming good season with fresh produce, there’s nothing better than hosting a plant-based dinner party. If you are already vegetarian or vegan, this might be second nature to you. But even if your guests enjoy a meat-based dinner from time to time, you can surprise them all with a gourmet plant-based menu.
Still have doubts? More and more studies have shown the benefits of this diet – just make sure you are creating dishes for everyone’s palate!
Decorate the Table With Seasonal Fruits and Flowers
Spring brings nature back to life – make sure to celebrate this event by decorating the table with natural items such as sticks, leaves, and fresh flowers from your garden. This can help you reduce your environmental impact and make your dinner party even more photo-friendly.
Host It Outside – But Don’t Forget Heaters, Blankets, and Lights!
Although the spring season might give you a taste of summer, the evenings can still be quite chilly. Just make sure that your guests are warm and cozy after sundown by installing outdoor heaters and lights. And, provide your friends and family with blankets and cushions to be comfortable throughout the evening.
A great way to take your party to the next level is to get a fire pit going and enjoy time around the campfire making s’mores and telling stories!
Opt for Grazing Boards and Focus on Seasonal Ingredients
Although winter might naturally draw us towards comfort foods, spring calls for seasonal eating! So, if you are looking for an easy dinner party idea, create grazing boards packed with seasonal fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. You should also add high-quality bread and crackers, as well as premium wines, beers, and ciders. If you wish to stick to a vegetarian or vegan theme, you may also consider choosing gourmet cheese and plant-based meat alternatives.
