It’s much better to pick up the phone and run through your invitation with your guests. Maybe they are vegetarian or vegan, have allergies to certain foods, or maybe they are just picky. Planning this out then getting your meat and vegetables involves listening to other people and figuring out what will work. If you are losing your hearing then this may add to your stress.
