Advice About Purchasing Food For Your Cocktail Party
Some Simple Food Rules For a Cocktail Party
Hosting a cocktail party is a fun way to spend time with your family and friends. But when you serve alcohol your guest are sure to appreciate a few bites of food. When you are deciding what to serve you must think about how many people will be attending, this will give you a good idea of how much food you will be needing. For cocktail food, usually six bites every hour per person. But it would be better if you calculate a bit more then that, depending on the guests.
Finger foods are good for cocktail parties. No big clean ups, and they can be prepared before everything gets started.
It is a wise choice to have some napkins or paper plates also. This way they can mingle while they snack. And still not much clean up involved. My profile.
Your appetizers should be in a small portion basically one bite size. Sausage rolls, mini cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries are all awesome ideas for cocktail party food. Pair up smoked salmon or caviar with martinis. Or make it really simple and offer cheese and wine.
Whatever the cocktail party food of choice you need to be sure that you enjoy yourself at your cocktail party as well. If the host can be no wheres to be found then some of the guests may begin to feel a bit uncomfortable. Make sure that you have chosen a food that you are familiar with, and a food that can be made ahead of time. The last thing that you need to be doing is slave in the kitchen when there is a fabulous cocktail party going on right on the other side of kitchen door. About me.
