I'm obsessed with dinner parties. They're the perfect excuse to bring together friends from all walks of life, eat delicious food, and enjoy each other's company on a beautiful evening. Whether you're the one hosting or the one attending, it's bound to be a memorable experience.

I moved to my own apartment a couple of months ago, and while I'm way overdue for a proper housewarming, I've finally decided to throw my very first dinner party in my new space. Of course, I need the right hosting tools. To prep, I've rounded up 10 must-haves under $100 that I believe will make my dinner party a huge success. From chic cocktail glasses and a $10 wine chiller to a rustic salad bowl, marble cheese platters, and more, I'm convinced that throwing an amazing party doesn't have to break the bank. And because space is at a premium in my New York City kitchen, all of my picks will get a lot of use post-gathering. 

Curious to see my must-haves? Some of these items are ones that I own already, and others are sitting in my cart — all are perfect for hosting my very first dinner party. Keep reading to learn why.
