4 Reasons to Host a Dinner Party this Fall

Whether you love to entertain or you simply love to cook, a dinner party is the perfect opportunity to do both for your family, friends or coworkers. Cooler temperatures offer a cozy ambiance for an indoor or outdoor party and today we're sharing a few reasons to host a dinner party this fall. 

1. It's Time to Celebrate! 
A dinner party is a wonderful way to get friends and loved ones together to celebrate - birthdays, engagements, new career opportunities, back to school, or simply "just because!" You don't need a fancy occasion, holiday or birthday to celebrate together. Choose a theme and go with it. Celebrate the little things like reaching a personal goal or finishing that important project at work. The best memories are made and the most fun is had when people simply enjoy the company of others. 

2. New Foods Are Better with Friends
We have our eyes set on a wood fire pizza oven and you better believe when we get it we'll be inviting friends over to try it out with us! If you're excited to try something new, what better way to experience it than with loved ones. Make your own pizza nights are popular with our family, but here's a complete list of fun "themes" to try something new! 

• Mexican Fiesta
  Try a new dip or side dish and do a DIY taco bar

• Pasta Bar
  Everyone brings their own sauce, you make the pasta

• Soup & Salad or Baked Potato Bar 
  Make a new soup and salad and try new toppings. Go a step further and host a chili cook-off! We have the perfect spoons to award the winners. 

• Chinese Take-Out 
  Try a new recipe or order in for a fun experience everyone's sure to enjoy.

3. No Rush, No Wait Times
If you want to spend time with a large group of friends or family without being on a "schedule," hosting a dinner party is the perfect option. You can set the pace and the timeline of the evening, and you'll save money too!

4. Unplug and Connect with Others
In addition to setting the schedule for the evening, you can set the rules. Ask guests to leave their phones in a basket at the beginning of the evening or simply take the opportunity to mindfully unplug and enjoy your guests in real life. You'll be glad you did!
