My favorite part of summer is without a doubt the longer days. I believe dinner is best eaten outside while the sun is still out, and during my favorite season, I try to make this happen as much as possible.

Now that I’m in my 30’s and my social life is changing, I’ve been making the pivot from house parties to dinner parties (although if you invite me to your house party, I will absolutely still show up and throw down).

Hosting a dinner party is fulfilling, but it can also be stressful trying to plan a menu, satisfy everyone, and time everything out. I’m here to help! I’ve crafted 3 separate dinner party menus, organized by theme.
