Hypothetical Dinner Party

[SJ]

If you could invite five people, living or dead, to a dinner party, who would they be and why?

I see how this is supposed to work, but I'm going a different direction which may be cheesy but I don't care.

(Assuming DH and DS will be at the party too):

- DH's parents, who haven't been able to meet DS yet.
- My Grandpa and my Meme, who passed away several years ago.
- My paternal grandfather, who passed away when my Dad was 18, so whom I never got to meet.

My 4 grandparents - all dead, one I never met. And my mother.

I suck at cooking, so I'll just go to the parties hosted by @this and hermione!

My grandma who died when I was in college
My grandpa who I never met (died when my dad was 3)
My great grandma who died when I was in middle school
My parents, so my dad could see his parents again and my mom could see her grandma again

Like momin2013, I would love to have them all meet C, and I'd love to meet my grandpa and have him see my dad as an adult

I'm sticking with celebrities.

Tina Fey
Amy Poehler
John Oliver
Michelle Obama (but only once they're out of the WH, so she can really dish)
Idris Elba (because I would very much like to see if he is as hot like fire in person as he is on screen)

It depends. Are these guests leaving their shoes on or taking them off?

Tina Fey
Steve Jobs
Page McConnell (keyboardist and favorite member of Phish)
I am split between Bryan Cranston and Vince Gilligan here but I think I am going to say Vince. But maybe they both can come and I just have an extra place setting.
JK Rowling
