A casual dinner party is a social gathering where friends or acquaintances come together to enjoy a meal in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. It typically involves inviting guests over for a meal, often consisting of appetizers, main course, and dessert, with beverages such as wine or cocktails served alongside. The focus is on creating a comfortable and convivial environment where people can enjoy good food, conversation, and each other's company in an unhurried manner. Casual dinner parties are often held in the host's home but can also take place at restaurants, outdoor spaces or other venues.
