Food
Decide whether everyone should bring a dish for a potluck or if everyone should contribute money to a food budget. If you decide to do dinner potluck style, assign different people to appetizers, sides, and desserts so there will be a variety of dishes available. If you go for the food budget option, come up with a menu that you believe everyone will enjoy. Make sure that you know what food allergies your friends have so everyone can eat. Recruit some people to help get the food ready and set it all up buffet style or by the plate!
Location
Try to pick a location that can accommodate all of your friends. Remember, the more people at the dinner, the more space you will need for everyone to sit down and enjoy the meal. If a person in your friend group has a bigger apartment, ask if the dinner can be held there. Depending on how many people come, the dining room table might be too small. Eating in the living room and adding extra chairs is a great way to have everyone eat in the same room and the dining room table can be used as the buffet table instead!
