How to Prep a Dinner Party

like you’ve done it before

A no-fluff, time-saving guide for first-time hosts who want to look calm and actually enjoy their own party.

I need this!

Hosting a Dinner Party Should Be Fun

Not a full-time job.

You don’t need to be a gourmet chef. Or have a tablescape that looks like it came from a Crate & Barrel photo shoot.

You definitely don’t need to lose your mind trying to host your first dinner party.

What you do need? A plan that actually works for your real life.

This guide takes you from “Where do I even start?” to “Wow, I think I pulled that off.”
You’ll learn how to plan ahead, prep smart, and be the host who’s calm, confident, and (here’s the wild part) actually sitting down with their guests.

Picture this...

Your guests walk in. The food smells amazing. You’re not frantically lighting candles, sweating over the stove, or yelling “I JUST NEED TEN MORE MINUTES.”

Instead, you’re greeting people with a smile, the playlist is already on, and dinner is... actually on track. You look like someone who does this all the time.

The secret? It’s not talent. It’s prep.

What you'll learn inside:

My #1 Hosting Rule for getting food out on time (and not 45 minutes later than you said)

A 4-Step Hosting Plan so you know exactly what to do and when

Your One-Page Game Plan. Like a cheat sheet for managing your to-dos

How to look calm when guests arrive, even if your dog just ate a napkin

How to leverage your guests (nicely!) so you're not stuck in the kitchen while everyone else has fun

Hosting Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery

You don’t need fancy skills. You don’t need 10 spare hours.
You just need a good plan. One that helps you get ahead of the chaos and actually be there for the party you’re throwing.

You’ve got this. (And I’ve got you.)

hi, i'm maddie

I’ve been that host.

You know, the one still chopping onions, sweaty from sprinting around the kitchen, silently praying guests show up late so there’s time to hide the chaos and light a candle.

Now? I host almost every weekend. From birthday parties to dinner parties that turn into brunch the next day, and I actually enjoy it. Food gets out on time and I can enjoy being with my friends. The difference wasn’t more time or talent. It was learning how to plan and prep in a way that made sense for my real life.

That’s what this hosting toolkit is here to help you do.

And it's only $7 right now.

Sure, I could charge more, but I want this to be a no-brainer for you. Because making great memories with your people shouldn’t be stressful. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need a plan. And this is that plan.
