Here’s what we’d do
Create a playful menu with one main dish and one optional extra, using food the host can already make. Guests can name the dishes or design a paper menu. Keep the joke in the presentation rather than turning the host into a server all evening.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Choose the menu and explain any shared cost before people arrive.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Let guests help with table setting or menu names while the food is prepared.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Sit down together and divide cleanup so the host also enjoys the closing conversation.
