Party Tips: Catering For Your Guests

Party planning lists can seem endless, from catering to decorating

, invitations and so much more. The whole process can be a little stressful and daunting especially if you are planning on throwing a big party, so, it's important to draw up a plan and start preparations early. Most of the preparations and work will go towards putting together the food and drink for the party and these helpful tips should show you the way.

First off, you need to decide what you want to serve at your party. Creating a menu is all about catering to the guests you have invited. You want to ensure that the food is liked by all and one important consideration is the dietary restrictions of guests. Find out if you have any vegetarians or people with allergies attending, this will help you to craft a menu that everyone is able to enjoy.

The type of party you are planning will also determine your menu. For instance if you are planning a dinner party, you will need to provide for a number of courses including dessert while if it is a birthday party or something casual, finger food should suffice.

For DIY cooking, you want to ensure that you set yourself sufficient time for preparing the food and enlist some help if possible. If you are making a new dish or experimenting with a new recipe, a great idea would be to have a run through, try making the dish beforehand to ensure everything goes right and to work out all the kinks. Self catering is generally the cheaper option so if you are on a tight budget this is the best choice.

A bigger budget will allow you to engage the services of a professional caterer, someone to do all the work, while you sit back, relax and enjoy the party. You should shop around for a good deal and ask for recommendations before you decide on a caterer. Negotiate as much as possible and try to get them to include drinks, cutlery and even service staff if possible.

The right plan will ensure that your catering and the party as a whole goes glitch free.
