When your throwing a party, one of the most important things to have is party food. When guests are not fed they will usually leave and go somewhere they can get food. Socializing and playing games cannot happen when your guests are simply to hungry to focus on all the fun. I wrote this article to give you some good ideas for planning out your party menu. I’ll even tell you where you can go to buy some great cooking apparatuses to cook your party food in.
The first thing you’ll need to do is to determine whether you want to simply provide finger foods or to make a full meal available to your guests. This is usually dictated by the length of the party. Although, its convenient to only serve finger foods, don’t let this be your determining factor. A full meal is expected from you when you hold parties that are expected to last for more than two or three hours. A hot dog cooker, some hot dog buns and hot dogs can be kept on hand in case your finger food party ends up running too long.
Once you’ve determined how long your guests will be there and what kind of food to serve them, you’ll need to determine which foods to serve them. Deciding whether or not to have a sit down meal is a good way to start this process. If your guests are sitting down it is much easier for them to be served a full meal like a turkey or meatloaf. However, if your guests will be walking around with their food, you might want to go with sandwiches and other foods that are easy to eat on the go.
No matter which way you go, you should consider using a buffet table to distribute your food. Sit down guests can move through the buffet tables and take their food to the table. Standing guests can simply walk through the buffet and then keep on moving.
