www.lechefswife.com

Looking for an easy, but chic, way to host friends at home without lots of cooking? A cocktail dînatoire, also known as an apéro dînatoire, brings guests together over food and drink in a more casual setting than a dinner party.

START WITH COCKTAILS!

Similar to l'apéro (cocktial hour) but with more food, a cocktail dînatoire is an informal, yet chic, way to entertain that does not require a lot of investment or preparation and creates a wonderful evening!

HOW TO HOST WITH KIDS:

A cocktail dinatoire is perfect for families with young kids that still want to have a social life. Set out the kid friendly snacks on the coffee table and let them snack away and roam as you enjoy a cocktail buffet.
