High School Homecoming Dances are right around the corner, and if your teen is like most high schoolers, he will be eating dinner with his date prior to or following the dance. For a change of pace, why don't you host a small dinner party at your home for your student and several other couples? Let the students experience an elegant dinner, without the accompanying price tag by turning your dining room into a secluded, intimate bistro? You can cook your most elegant recipes, or even have the dinner catered for less work. Make the evening special with some simple pre-planning regarding linens, service, and serviceware. Check back here on Sept. 13th for in-depth details on how to create this dinner party in your own home. In the meantime, make sure that your teen sends out the invitations!
