WOW Your Guests: How to Host the Perfect Dinner Party
Dinner parties can feel overwhelming to plan, from the menu to music and everything in between. Fortunately, Samsung smart technology makes it simple to host with confidence and style.
Here are 5 ways to create the perfect dinner party:
1. Make Cooking Simple
Start with inspiration. Google Gemini and Galaxy AI lets you quickly find recipes that suit your guests’ dietary requirements and preferences. No time for shops? Family Hub™ Smart Fridges suggests meals based on what’s already in your fridge, reducing waste and saving you time.
Once you’ve locked in your menu, use SmartThings to preheat your Samsung Series 7 Oven. Features like Air Fry and Steam Cook ensure you serve up healthy, delicious dishes meals every time.
2. Curate the Perfect Playlist
Music sets the tone. Use Spotify, YouTube or Galaxy AI to find or build playlists that reflect the mood you’re aiming for. Then, play them through a Samsung Soundbar, Music Frame, or your Samsung TV for crystal-clear, immersive sound.
3. Set the Mood with Lighting and Décor
Lighting can make or break the atmosphere. Swap harsh ceiling lights for softer alternatives - think candles, table lamps or smart-controlled bulbs. With Samsung SmartThings, you can dim the lights or switch them on and off via your phone. And for added flair, The Frame TV doubles as an elegant art display that can match your theme perfectly.
4. Send Stylish Invitations
Want to go the extra mile? Personalised invitations add a touch of finesse to any party. With Galaxy AI, you can create beautifully designed invitations in seconds - just input your party details and let AI do the rest.
5. Utilise Smart Home Controls
Control every detail of your party with SmartThings. Dim lights, adjust the thermostat or switch music easily from your Galaxy smartphone or tablet. Samsung’s connected ecosystem ensures your party runs smoothly, leaving guests impressed and you are stress-free.
Snuggle Down: How to Create the Best At-Home Movie Night
Movie nights are all about creating a cosy space that allows you to immerse yourself in the story. Home entertainment solutions, combined with comfort and snacks, are the perfect recipe to transform any room into a private cinema.
The top things to include in your at-home movie setup include:
Create a cosy set up:
Think comfy sofas, soft blankets, and dim lighting. Add fairy lights or candles for that warm feeling.
Stunning visuals
Experience breathtaking visuals with Neo QLED TVs or The Premiere Projector, delivering 4K resolution and cinematic brightness. Use Samsung Vision AI to adjust picture quality based on room lighting and manage playback from your Galaxy smartphone via SmartThings.
Immersive audio:
Pair your screen with a Samsung Q-Series soundbar for crisp dialogue and booming effects. Wireless surround sound ensures a sleek, clutter-free setup that enhances your cinematic experience.
Snacks, snacks, & more snacks:
Stock up on snacks like popcorn, nachos, and sweets to replicate that real cinema feel. With Samsung appliances, you can cook, store, and serve whatever you like, adding a personal touch to your movie night.
Movie recommendations:
Not sure what to watch? Let Galaxy AI, integrated with Google Gemini, suggest movies tailored to your preferences. Build a personalised list for your next marathon with ease.
Dim the Lights: How to Connect Devices Throughout the Home
Lighting isn’t just functional, it’s fundamental to mood. With SmartThings and Samsung smart bulbs you can automate lighting based on time, activity or mood.
Build custom lighting routines:
Use Samsung Smart Bulbs to create routines like “Movie Night,” which dims the lights, closes blinds, and adjusts brightness for a cinematic feel. Or try a “Dinner Party” routine that brightens your dining area while leaving other spaces softly lit.
Ensure seamless integration:
Connect lighting to other Samsung devices with SmartThings, ensuring everything works harmoniously. Adjust settings from your Galaxy tablet or smartphone, or link lighting to your Samsung TV so it dims automatically when the movie begins.
Move It Outside: How to Create an Outdoor Home Cinema
Take movie nights outdoors for a fresh experience. Whether it’s a family screening under the stars or a weekend gathering with friends, Samsung’s solutions make outdoor cinemas effortless.
When creating an outdoor home cinema, we recommend:
Using outdoor screening options:
Outdoor TVs like the The Terrace TV deliver vibrant 4K visuals, even in daylight. Its weather-resistant design ensures durability, while SmartThings integration provides seamless control. Alternatively, use The Freestyle Projector for flexibility¹.

Ensure comfort is key:
Enhance your outdoor area with soft seating, blankets, and cushions for added comfort. Use fairy lights or dim-lit LEDs to create a magical atmosphere, and stock up on snacks and drinks for the ultimate movie night.
Snacks & drinks:
As mentioned, when creating the best at-home movie night, snacks and drinks are essential. Putting thought and care into what you provide your guests can really help your party and hosting skills stand out. Going above and beyond, catering for all dietary requirements, setting out a range of options to please everyone’s tastes, and presenting them in an aesthetically pleasing way will showcase the care and dedication you have put into providing for your guests.
