OUR HOSTS: 

Corinne Foxx - @corinnefoxx

Natalie McMillan - @nataliemcm and @shopnataliemcmillan 

What we're drinking: San Pellegrino Limonata 

TOPIC: 

It’s officially holiday party season, so we wanted to break down the different types of parties that you can host, some basic etiquette for both hosting and attending a dinner party, and a step-by-step guide on how to put together a small gathering. We explain how to keep things as stress-free as possible and highlight the key factors to consider when creating a guest list. Plus, we get into how to curate the perfect menu, playlist, and overall dinner party vibe. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Different dinner party themes to help get you inspired

  • When you should consider using place cards vs. letting your guests choose their seats

  • The most important aspect of your menu

  • How to come up with the perfect playlist

  • What to do the day before a party to set yourself up for success

  • How to subtly cue that the party is winding down
