I think the best approach for the dinner party is to keep things simple and focus on a few dishes that can be prepared ahead of time. A roasted vegetable tart works well as a starter since it can be served at room temperature. For the main course, a braised dish would be ideal because it actually improves when made a day in advance. I would suggest pairing it with a simple green salad and some crusty bread. For dessert, a fruit crisp is always well received and can be assembled hours before baking.
The key is to minimize last minute work so you can actually enjoy the evening with your guests. I find that planning the timing backwards from when you want to serve dinner helps avoid any rush. Let me know if you want to discuss the menu further or if you need help with the shopping list.

I looked into the hiking trail you mentioned and it seems like a great option for next weekend. The loop is about six miles with moderate elevation gain, so it should take around three to four hours at a comfortable pace. There are a few stream crossings along the way, so waterproof boots would be a good idea especially if there has been recent rain. The trail is well marked according to recent reports, but I will download a map just in case.
Parking is available at the trailhead with space for about twenty cars, so arriving early should be fine. I plan to pack a lunch and plenty of water. The forecast looks favorable with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid seventies. Let me know if you would like to carpool and what time you prefer to start.
