Well, it looks like you’ve been selected to host a large dinner for a group of your closest friends and family members! You happily accepted the offer, neglecting the future version of yourself that would eventually have to cook everything. But that’s all good! You just wanted to please everyone, even though you’re now cramming at the last minute trying to figure out how you’re actually going to get everything done. But have no fear: here are some quick tips that’ll help you prepare a meal for a large group.

Stock Up On Sides

What people really want to see when they sit down for a large meal is the table covered with platters. But those platters don’t have to all necessarily be entrees. Most of the dishes you make can be simple side dishes, and they’ll cover up the table just as effectively.

Ask For Help

This may seem obvious, but one of the best things you can do in this situation is to just ask for some help. Yeah, you might’ve agreed to do everything, but no one will think any less of you if you ask them to make a dish or two. If they’re going to be eating in the meal, then they should especially help out!
