Guests can ‘nosh on a beautiful table laden with cheese, meats, breads, crackers, hot and cold dips with vegetables. Always a huge hit!
End the evening on a sweet note by setting up a dessert table away from the kitchen. Mentioning that dessert and coffee is being served signals to your guests that the party is ending.
Create a signature cocktail to welcome your guests upon arrival.
Champagne or Italian Prosecco poured into a champagne glass with a shot of cranberry or pomegranate juice makes it festive. Serve with frozen cranberries.
Offer non-alcoholic cocktails.
Remember the designated driver! Make a “punch in a pitcher” with ice for easy pouring.
Self serve bar or bar cart.
Keep the selection simple so guests can help themselves. Each guest will consume an average of 2-3 drinks. 1 Litre bottle of alcohol yields 22 mixed drinks. 1 bottle of wine serves 4 guests. Stock up on mix and garnishes & lots of ice
If your budget allows, rent the plates, cutlery, and glasses.
Hire 2 servers and 1 bartender to allow you to spend time mingling with your guests. When the party is complete your home will be clean.
Create a playlist that matches the theme of your gathering so that music plays continuously throughout the evening.
Invest in a free standing coat rack that can be set up in a bedroom which makes it easier for guest to retrieve their coats.
