What's a trendy dinner party menu?

I cook A LOT as a hobby, but I have problems pairing foods up for a meal…I would prefer three or four courses, and it’s great if I could prepare a lot of the meal the day of or the day before the party. I want it to be a trendy and even avant-garde menu to serve to about ten people. Suggestions?? I can find recipes for anything…if you have a favorite meal that you can remember that would be great!
