Planning a special dinner party? Make it an elegant affair by going for a fancy French theme. We’ll show you how…
The menu
French food is perfect for sharing – think warm baguettes, gooey cheese and plenty of wine! For an authentic French feast, we’d serve:
To start, baked camembert with croutons for dipping
For main, duck with sweet potato puree and a red wine jus, served with vegetables
And the piece de resistance, crème brulee with raspberries and a glass of champagne!
The décor
To get that full-on French look, you just need a few accessories. A sumptuous table cloth – think lace, linen or even velvet – will add detail to your table setting. At La Redoute we have a great selection of table decorations. Candelabras will give your dining room a touch of gothic glam, while paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling bring the celebration!
Create more of an occasion by making place cards for your guests using textured card and a metallic pen. Add a vase of fresh flowers (we love lilies!) to your table as a centrepiece and you’re ready for the evening to begin.
The entertainment
The only game to play at a dinner party is Charades – for your French-themed evening, why not try it in French? Hilarity guaranteed if, like us, your French is a little rusty!
With these Parisian basics in place, you’ll be ready for a stylish, sophisticated evening en Francais… all that’s left is to wish your guests ‘bonsoir’!
