For a dinner party, every seat counts. You need firm answers rather than maybes, and you need to know about allergies before you shop.

Ask dietary questions right on the RSVP, use a sign-up sheet if guests are bringing dishes, and remind anyone who hasn't answered.

Dinner Party invitation FAQ

How far in advance should you invite people to a dinner party?

One to three weeks is usual for a casual dinner. Give more notice for a holiday dinner, a weekend date, or a menu that requires ordering ingredients in advance.

How do I ask guests about food allergies without it being awkward?

Make it part of the RSVP rather than a separate message. A simple optional question — "Any allergies or dietary needs?" — is normal and saves a last-minute menu change.
