I’m hosting a traditional musical night and confused about sequence of programme.

Event is starting at 7pm and chief guest arriving at 7:30. Now, I have dinner/BBQ and two musical groups to perform and it’s Sunday. What I’m confused about is when to serve dinner? Some senior position holders are coming to so what do you all think about this plan… 7pm arrival of guests/drinks - 7:30pm chief guests arrive, 7:40 pm dinner until 8:30pm, 8:40 first music performance till 9, 9:15 pm main group performance for two hours until 11pm.

Please please help!!

You should have an orderv bar. Just some snacks like cheese an crackers, fruit, cookies or something so people can snack while they drink.

Because seven forty is a late dinner and they might need a snack.

What are you confused about? Your sequence seems good to me.

What I’m confused about is that next morning people have work and it’s Sunday so don’t you think they will get bore? More than 70 people are invited and they are above 40s 30s and mid 20s.

I also thought to to start music right away at 7:45 and give dinner at 9

Well we do have snacks and finger foods. Problem is musical performance is 2.5 hours time so I don’t know when to start.
Since some very vvip people are showing up.

I like your original idea better. Nine seems like way too long to wait for dinner. Or you could overlap dinner and music a little, so it doesn’t run as long. Alcohol seems to help people enjoy stuff. Sounds like you need to relax :)

Its okay they won’t be bored. I also think you should provide a dance area if there is that kind of music. They will love it.

Overlap, I agree. And if the dinner is really late they will be too drunk, and full on finger foods.
