Host a Virtual Dinner Party with Viners
Now more than ever we need to stay connected to those we love. Get creative and enjoy time with friends and family over a virtual dinner party. It’s the perfect excuse to cook up a homemade meal, set the table and enjoy a sense of normality by sitting down and eating together.
As long as you have a laptop or mobile phone, you’re all set for your virtual video get together. Simply decide which website you’d like to use for your dinner party, and get a time and date set up and send to your invite list. A few of our favourites include Zoom, Skype and Google Hangouts.
It can be as formal or relaxed as you like. Dress up for the occasion and have a three-course meal, or keep it casual with tapas-style sharing foods. Have a chat with friends and family, decide on a theme and start flicking through those recipe books.
However, you choose to dine, here are our top looks for creating your ideal virtual dinner party table setting with our wide range of cutlery and table accessories.

Top Tips
1Plan ahead – Pick a meal you can make the night before, and then simply heat in the oven so that you’re all set on the day. The same can be done with drinks, once everyone has joined start with a big toast.
2Set the table – No dinner party is complete without a beautifully set table. Get your best cutlery set out, and impress your virtual guests.
3Dress the part – Set a dress code in advance. Whether you’re keeping it casual, fancy dress or formal, prepare friends and family so they can dress to impress.
