How far in advance can I make dips & cheese log?

I want to make them tomorrow for a hen's night on Saturday, but someone told me that I shouldn't make them until Friday.I'm making french onion dip, artichoke dip, tex mex dip & the goat's cheese log I saw on here.Thanks :)

I'd be making Friday evening but preferably Saturday. Dips tend to get darker the longer they 'sit' so don't look so appertising.

Really?I know the flavours seem to develop & improve with the french onion dip.The others I haven't made before.

The night before

Any dip should be made fresh - I wouldn't even make them the evening before - they would be standing about for 24 hours ...

No, they'll be in the fridge.

I would make the night before and just give the dips a stir the next day.

I made this Artichoke dip and used it over several days.I much prefered it on the third day... flavours had really developed... very tasty. :-)
