Don’t Get Left Out in the Cold!
Throwing a party can leave many people feeling overwhelmed. Take these simple tips to help your event stand out and give your guests a night to remember.
- Serve food on several small platters rather than on one large platter.1 This allows you to place dishes in different areas, making it more convenient for your guests to enjoy the food.
- Make sure there’s enough for everyone. According to Cheryl Brown of Gourmet Magazine, the standard formula is 12 appetizers per person for a cocktail party and six appetizers per person for a dinner party.2
- Serve an equal number of hot and cold dishes. Adding variety not only gives your guests more options, but makes your job easier because you don’t have to worry about fitting everything in the fridge or the oven. 2
- Relax and have fun! The more relaxed you are, the more enjoyable the evening will be for everyone!
