Ahh Ella thank you so much for the mention! Also found it so crazy how I have a dinner party newsletter that I've been typing up all week and then see you've written about a dinner party too! Great minds think alike haha! Also I think it's so cool how you used to actually attend and host dinner parties! I would feel so nervous! <3
Haha I've just read yours and I am stealing all your ideas!! How do you make everything look so gorge, I love your taste! I would only invite my closest friends so I never needed to get nervous, and also we'd always be in our PJs after uni/work so it was suuuper chill, but now when I go to dinner parties at my friend Jo's (she's the only one that does them lol), there's a lot of people there that I don't know, but because I know Jo and usually one or two others there I tend to just stick with them until I get comfy. I find that with dinner parties the pressure is usually off because I let other people do the talking!
Wow I've never realised how much of a leveller taking our shoes off and chatting away in socks is, but it's so true 😂 Loved this piece - will look forward to the dinner party update! I once gave in to my boyfriend's Mum when she not-so-subtly suggested that we should have his parents and my parents over for a ROAST DINNER. We were also in pretty new surroundings after our house fire earlier in the year, so the idea of it was pure stress, but I did it. And between my boyfriend and I, we smashed it. I literally got into pyjamas as soon as they all left BUT I felt very content. You got this 🙌🏻
Thank you sooo much for including my post in this!! <3 LOVE the rebrand too!!! 😍
I would LOVE to host a dinner party and can't wait until I live in a big enough place to host a 'proper' one. For now, I have a friend or two round at a time and cook them dinner. Like you, I *hate* cooking under pressure; I actually had a friend round last night and I was trying a new recipe and I just... wasn't stressed?? Hopefully the same thing happens to you! Your dinner party sounds wonderful and I'm a biiiig slow cooker stan!
Also, oven picky bits (particularly at Christmas) are perfect if you don't want to spend too long cooking or worrying about the food. Just bung stuff in the oven and constantly have something new on the go with minimal stress!
Why thank you 💁🏼♀️ trying to make it a little more fun!!
Hahaha that's what it was like when I lived in my studio flat! I didn't have a kitchen table so one of us would be sat on my desk chair and the others would be sat on my bed 😅
A new recipe under pressure - you are built different. I'll be cooking the most foolproof dish I possibly can!! Although picky bits is such a shout - M&S party food is elite this time of year
I have to say that just reading about you wanting to put together a dinner party, makes me also want to have a dinner party. I used to have get togethers at our little 1 bedroom apartment all the time and made some of the best memories. A few years later, I shoot the idea down pretty much immediately, because both of our kids are at ages where nothing fragile can be within arms reach, the youngest one always wants to be held, and the thought of planning, cooking, socializing AND attending to two little people is already overwhelming for me. SIGH. It'll happen again, I know, and reading this has inspired me to put it back into the rotation of visualizing. Thanks girl. I'm looking forward to seeing/reading how yours turns out ;)
Oh my goodness I hadn't even thought about how overwhelming it would be to tend to two littles while trying to entertain everyone else! The time for dinner parties will come round again for sure, although I feel like I'd end up making my kids have them with me instead 😅 thank you for reading Kathleen!! ♥️
