Aprogressive dinner party is an adventure
in the making, as guests are given the opportunity
to visit and dine in several different homes within
the same night.
The simplest approach is to divide the party
among three or four houses that are within easy
walking distance of one another. Let the mastermind
of the party make the first selection between
appetizer, salad, main course or dessert.
Setting a theme can add charm. For a progressive
garden party, assign a different garden flower to
each home. The host or hostess is then challenged
to incorporate the flower into decorations, food,
music and entertainment.
Select foods that can be partially prepared
in advance, balance the drink offerings and be
ready with easy-to-reach umbrellas and blankets,
just in case.
