How to Host a Progressive Dinner Party

Jul 20th 2009 11:09PM Don't knock it 'til you've tried it! We've done this dockside when we kept our boat at a marina. 16 to 36 couples, four courses, and one very intricate flowchart. We structured it so that you never ate a course with the same group more than once. I was skeptical, but it turned out to be a LOT of fun. We kept the menu simple, and it was loads easier to prepare(and clean) one dish than to plan an entire menu. Although we didn't know many of the participants at the beginning of the night, we made several new friends. Having our "houses" only yards apart definitely helped eliminate concerns about alcohol.
