The Olympus Guide for Hosting a Dinner Party

So you just settled into your beautiful home with Olympus Property and you want to put it to good use! What better way to use your luxurious space than to host a dinner party. You want to create a night to remember, so here are five tips to get you started.

Decide on A Theme

What theme or mood do you want your party to have? Your theme can be anything from "1950s jazz bar" to "barbecue and pool party." That is, you can make it as complicated or as simple as you want. It is important to let your guests know ahead of time what the theme or mood is going to be so that they can dress and prepare appropriately.

Decorate Your Home

The next step is making sure that your home is ready to host. First, get the logistics out of the way. Do you have adequate lighting and seating? Is your bathroom clean and accessible? Once those mundane details are out of the way, focus on the decor of your home. Check out this article for some hot tips on home decor.

Plan the Menu

Whether you are cooking yourself or ordering a catered meal, it is crucial to provide your guests with a filling, tasty, and balanced meal. Consider having multiple meal options so that each guest can find something to their liking. You should have several side dishes along with the main meal. And don't forget the best part - creative and delicious drinks that pair well with the food! 

Create an Atmosphere

Atmosphere is all about the little details. Find music that fits with your desired mood. Adjust your lighting (a dimmer light will work well for a sultry or fancy feel while brighter light supports a cheerful, friendly, and more casual vibe). Light candles or turn on a diffuser to waft delicious scents through your home. 

Include A Fun Activity

Last but not least, it is a good idea to have an activity that your guests can participate in. You can do a fun murder mystery event, a questionnaire, minute to win it games, etc. Just make sure that the mood of the activity matches the theme of your party. And make sure you can do something where all your guests feel included!
