We’ve witnessed some pretty lavish dinner parties in our RHOBH-watching days. But no matter how many secret curtains Dorit throws up, or how many diamonds and rosé tea parties Lisa Vanderpump has overseen, no one’s hosting skills come close to the one and only Kathy Hilton’s.
In fact, we’re completely in awe of them. Unfortunately, Kath’s fellow housewives made sure that her big season 11 soiree was also one of the most disastrous, earning the official moniker “Dinner Party From Hell: Part Two.” (If you’ve seen Camille’s dinner from Season 1, you know.)
Brawling guests and fleeing invitees aside, we picked up plenty of notes for the next time we’re in the mood to host a shindig. Read on for all of Kathy Hilton’s very best tips for when it comes to hosting the perfect dinner party.

Craft the perfect seating arrangements

Bust out the good china… and the candlesticks

Don’t forget to fluff, feel and touch

Get a Patrick in case guests do come early

Bring the bar to your guests

Warn the staff about the events to come… if you can

Keep an emotional support dog nearby
