Her First Rodeo: Host a Wild West Themed Birthday Party

May 26, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

I met a group of moms at the park last week, and we quickly realized that all of our kids were turning one within a couple of days of one another. We joked about trying not to cry – while very much trying not to cry. Why do first birthdays hit so hard? Anyways. That’s the last I’m going to talk about crying, because this is a dinner party blog damn it. And while this isn’t exactly a dinner party, a lot of work went into what was a very fun night. So this week, we dive into my daughter’s…

Burger Wars: Battle for the Burger of the Day

May 20, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

With the warmer weather upon us and May being National Hamburger Month, we finally decided now is the time to break out the burgers. This week, we are competing to see who will have the honour of serving the esteemed Burger of the Day in our Bob’s Burgers inspired dinner party. The Menu: Eat Your Heart Out Sliders will serve as the blank canvas for our chefs. Each competitor brought their own toppings to assemble the sliders, and presented them with a cocktail pairing. We judged on creativity and taste. We served the sliders with a couple of salads on…

Build Memories (And More) During Mother’s Day Brunch

May 12, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

Since becoming a mom myself, I have become a lot more aware of the things my mom does for us. Around the holidays, we still maintain a lot of family traditions that we had as kids. We have our annual Easter egg hunt, pyjamas on Christmas Eve, and raving about the Thanksgiving turkey after she spent all day making every other side dish and dessert. Thankfully, we are out of the stage of giving her candles, soap gift boxes or slippers. It finally clicked that she is a person with real interests outside of being a mom (or grandma). Over…

Your Guide to a Delicious Sugar Bush Dinner Party

May 4, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

Introduction: The Sweetest Gathering Around My youngest sister’s partner grew up tapping trees every spring with his family. Last year, he started up again, this time with my sister and the rest of our dinner party crew, minus me. I was far too pregnant, and the Crocs I was limited to wearing would not have scaled the hill to the spot. They had a great haul this year, and we joined them around the fire quite a few times while it boiled down. It’s about a 40:1 ratio of sap to syrup. It’s a lot of work, but if you…

Embarass Your Friends at Your Next Talent Show Dinner Party!

April 27, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

Introduction: Fundue for you! My sister and her partner recently returned from a weekend trip to Montreal to check out MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE. During their trip, they visited the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts where they caught a couple of different poetry performances. My sister watched as the drama kid within him woke up. She knew he needed a way to channel that energy, preferably for others’ amusement. A Talent Show Dinner Party was the perfect way for him to do that. Decor: Set the Stage Candles were lit, and the chandelier above the table was dimmed. The decorations were…

An Elegant Spring Soiree: A Bug-Themed Dinner Party

April 20, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

Introduction: Challenge Accepted I still vividly remember the recess that defined the rest of another kid’s elementary school career – at least in my eyes. He had voluntarily eaten a worm, and instead of doubling down and saying all was well, he cried. I think was more the lack of decoration to the act than the actual worm-eating that labelled him a worm eater. I was later introduced to the term entomophagy (pronounced en-toh-MAH-fuh-jee) – eating bugs – at a STEM event for women. The speaker was very passionate about entomophagy. Unlike the poor kiddo from elementary school, she was…

April 13, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

Introduction: Hot Questions With Even Hotter Guests This week, we go to YouTube for inspiration for our Hot Ones Dinner Party. Hot Ones is a popular YouTube talk Show. For a decade, Sean Evans has been combining the neutralizing effects of hot sauce and well-researched, thoughtful questions to deliver entertaining interviews with celebrities. It is a household favourite. For a while, we were ordering chicken wings from our local restaurant every Thursday and watching the latest interview over dinner. Since Hot Ones has been around, people have been throwing their own Hot Ones Dinner Parties. For good reason – it…

How to Host a Charming Silent Library Dinner Party (No Gross Games)

April 6, 2025 - By Come for Dinner

Introduction: A Delicate Balance Between “Library” and “Silent Library” In addition to excellent conversation and beautiful decor, one undeniable sign of a good dinner party is your ability to raise your guest’s blood pressure. And that’s exactly what we have locked in for this week’s Silent Library Dinner Party theme. If you aren’t familiar, Silent Library is a TV game show that aired on MTV in the late 2000s. Two teams face off in different bizarre challenges where they must achieve whatever objective they have been assigned as silently as possible. Challenges range from painful, to disgusting to hilarious. Now,…
