Choosing your menu for your dinner party will depend on:
- the time you have available
- your level of expertise and experience
- what you think your guests will like
- your budget
- what's available.
If you are a beginner my advice is keep it simple. Ask your friends if they have any particular likes and dislikes (you don't want to find out they have a nut allergy after you have given them walnut and date pie, do you?) and do as much as you can in advance. Don't bankrupt yourself. You don't have to spend a fortune. Don't try and impress and be too pretentious - you'll wear yourself out and drive your guests up the wall! Just concentrate on trying to help everyone enjoy themselves.
It's all in the planning.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry

Don't assume vegetarians eat fish! In fact, generally, don't assume you know what a label like "vegetarian", "vegan", "kosher" etc. means. Ask: we won't be offended :-D
I agree it is far better to ask if you aren't sure! I once made the mistake of giving baked ham to a lady. It was only afterwards that I found out she was Jewish!
What a faux pas!
