List of U.S. State Dinners

In the United States, a state dinner is a formal dinner, more often black tie in recent years rather than white tie, which is held in honor of a foreign head of state, such as a king, queen, president, or any head of government. A state dinner is hosted by the President of the United States and held in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington D.C. Other formal dinners for important people of other nations, such as a prince or princess, are called official dinners, the difference being that the federal government does not pay for them.

The first state dinner was held on December 12, 1874 by President Ulysses S. Grant to welcome King David Kalakaua of the Kingdom of Hawai'i.[1]
