"It was my dearest wish, in starting My Giving Table, that nights full of love, care, community and compassion would be the result. Where kindness, heart and giving, not just money, were the currency of the event.

My Giving Table's Hosting Tips
Hosting a 'dinner party with purpose' doesn't have to be a stressful affair, it's an opportunity to bring people together and create connection, not only at the event, but also in the preparations.
Ask for Support
Hosting a 'dinner party with purpose' is all about connection and community. It's important not to do it alone, ask for support and gather a team of people around you that thrive in different ways, giving them a list of tasks and room to grow and the space to do so. When you bring more people to the table in supportive roles, you share a common purpose and that's when the magic happens.
Be Intentional
Having a strong intention from the start is crucial to hosting an event, whether it be a large event or an intimate gathering with friends and family. Keep front of mind WHY you are hosting a 'dinner party with purpose', this will help when it comes to all areas; the people you invite, the food you create, the way people feel and the contribution you make to the community.
Don't Panic
Remember hosting is supposed to be fun! Stressing over the small stuff like the timing of food or not having enough drinks shouldn't send you into a tailspin. Breathe through it and maintain your cool, everything will work itself out. It's important to remember to ask for help from those around you. Your guests after all are there to support and spend time with you!
