One of the best parts of the Come Dine With Me experience is taking the ordinary dinner party and turning it into a fun competition. Now you can experience the same fun competition amongst family & friends competing for the accolade of the ultimate host. We've all seen the show and thought "that looks like fun" or "I can do better than that" and wanted to have a go yourself. Now you have your chance to prove your hosting skills at home with the Come Dine With Me Parties.
By setting up your own parties each guest has their turn at competing by taking their turn to host a dinner party. Guests then score each others efforts to find out who is the host with the most. It’s all the fun of the TV hit series in your own home.
LifeStyle will be looking out for the most creative dinner parties and awarding one lucky group a fantastic appliance package from KitchenAid each month. There are blenders, food processors, stand mixers and even deluxe toasters up for grabs.
To be in the running simply set up a dinner party using the online organiser and after your dinner parties be sure to post some photos online so we can see what you created.
Set up a party by using our online application to invite your guests and set the initial date & menu. Each guest you invite will receive an email invitation which they can accept and then choose their own date using the online calendar. Up to 4 additional people can join your party (must have a minimum of 2 people).
Once your guests have each accepted, sent their menu to the other guests and chosen their date, start the parties! Each guest takes turn in hosting their dinner parties on the specified dates with diners required to log on post party to score their host out of 10. Points should be awarded for hosting skills, atmosphere and of course the food. Don't forget to take a camera along and capture all the fun.
When your dinner party series has been completed and all scores posted the host with the most will be revealed as the winner through an automatically generated email to all guests! You'll also be able to see what each of your guests rated your party and even read the comments left behind from each night. Remember everyone involved in the parties will need to vote to reveal the winner so give them a gentle nudge if they have forgotten.
Each month The LifeStyle Channel will choose their favourite from all dinner parties completed that month. You do not need to have completed a series of dinner parties to enter.
To be eligible to enter, hosts are to upload photographs, videos or images of the completed party and ensure each guest has scored their host’s party.
Winner's will receive an email confirming that they and their guests have won and will each receive that month’s KitchenAid Appliance.
