Successful Party Planning Tips from MimosaWhen planning a party whatever it might be, whether it’s a wedding reception, christening, birthday party or just a gathering of friends, there are a number of points that you should consider.
Plan ahead; parties always take longer to organize than you initially think. Is the occasion going to be informal or a rather more formal sit down occasion? Estimate how many people will attend and what your budget is. Establish the preferences or special requirements of your guests. For example, will there be any vegetarians?, or do any of your guests have any food allergies? Would you like a traditional fare? or do you fancy trying something more exotic; for example Moroccan, Thai or European delights? What about drinks? What variety would you like to offer? Are you going to match the food and drink to the décor and entertainment? How much involvement do you personally want to have, or do you want to have a caterer that can take all that pressure off you, even when it comes to passing around the canapés? Will you be having a cake and who will make it for you? What about equipment? Do you really have enough glasses, plates and even chairs?
Some of the terms out there can seem confusing so here’s a brief rundown of the type of catering you can choose:
Canapés / Finger buffet: offers guests bite-sized portions without the need for cutlery – canpes are typically one bite, finger buffet items are usually 3 or four bites.
Fork buffet: guests can help themselves or be served individual items; this requires plates and cutlery.
Sit down dinner: You can decide on the number of courses for your guests and the food you want to serve.
At Mimosa, we have helped many satisfied clients with their special occasions. We opened our first delicatessen in 1997 and therefore have a wealth of knowledge and experience. Let us worry about the food and drinks which will allow you to concentrate on enjoying yourself with your guests.
