If it's the first time you're hosting a dinner party, here's how to get started.
Set the Budget – How much will you spend on your dinner party? It's one thing to book the venue, but you still need to account for things like the food and the entertainment. Food already accounts for 20% of a regular party's budget, but if you're hosting a dinner, you can expect that percentage to go up. Prioritize the most impactful items on your list first.
Food and Beverages – If you're hosting a dinner party, the most important part is the food and beverages. Decide first if you're catering yourself or hiring a professional caterer. Some venues offer delicious indoor catering options; most allow you to bring your own if you're set on a different caterer. Make it match your theme!
Menu Options – To make your dinner party the best possible event, you'll need to offer a large enough menu. Ask your friends about any dietary requirements, and make sure there are options for the most popular ones, like vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Things like wood-fired pizzas and Georgia shrimp are the type of foods you should watch out for—keep your attendees in mind at all times!
Select the Venue – After you've decided on the food and menu options, you can move on to picking the venue. Check if the venue offers indoor catering that matches your menu—or at least offers just the right amount of alternatives. Decorate it to your liking and make it look like straight out of the Atlanta Magazine!
Looking at venues and planning a dinner party can be fun. What's slightly less fun is balancing all expenses and making sure you stay within your budget. Here's how to keep the costs of your dinner party as low as possible.
Cater for your guests yourself.
Catering for your guests yourself is an excellent way to cut costs, especially if you're hosting a small dinner party for your closest friends or family. Make sure you meet all dietary requirements, and you're good to go.
Plan your event for the offseason.
In Atlanta, the offseason begins in January and lasts through April. This is when tourist crowds are at their lowest and when you'll find the best deals on venues. If you don't have that much flexibility for your special occasion, you can always book a weekday venue instead of the weekend and save some money.
Consider a more limited menu.
One of the best ways to reduce costs is to consider a more limited menu. If you find yourself offering crispy duck lasagna, Indian street food, and squid ink spaghetti, chances are you made a mistake when discussing the menu with your caterer. Instead of dozens of options, expect dishes that match the theme, and instead of an open bar, consider a few select drinks plus a few signature drinks.
