FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Cloth napkins — worth it?
Yes — they elevate the table and reduce waste, and a set of 12 lasts decades. Iron them once and they look like a restaurant, not a paper-towel roll.
Serving over plating?
For a home dinner party, family-style serving — big platters in the middle. It is less work than individual plating and more social; people pass and talk.
Speaker over a sound system?
A single good Bluetooth speaker at low volume is plenty for dinner — you want conversation, not a club. Hide it, set the playlist, forget it.
Prep ahead?
Everything you can. The host's golden rule: do the work before the doorbell, so you host instead of cook. A prep-ahead menu is the secret to a calm dinner party.

Dinner party host and my BBQ share the prep-the-day-before gospel — host instead of cook is the rule. Cloth napkins and a hidden speaker, agreed.
