Feeding a Crowd Without Worry
So a special holiday or date is coming up and you want to have a party. Great! What are you going to feed your guests? Food can be a big part of your party budget or you can make it simple. Whichever way you decide to go, your guests can still leave happy and full of delicious goodies.
You can just serve finger foods, invite everyone to a potluck or prepare a sit down dinner. Whatever you plan to do, you need to balance the amount of time spent in the kitchen with how much time they get to enjoy their guests. Everyone will agree that inviting everyone over and then being stuck cooking the entire time is no fun. You will want to have time to visit and enjoy all your planning!
One of the best things you can do for yourself when you are planning for a party is start preparing the food as early as possible. No, you do not need to get up at 4am. Foods that can be reheated or refrigerated should be made a day or two before your gathering. If you are doing appetizers, put them on their platters under saran wrap or in large covered containers until the day of your party. For sit down meals, a large roast or turkey can sit out and rest after cooking while you take care of the last minute details.
If you are doing a potluck, you may need to reheat some of the food your guests are contributing. You may also want to consider catering a small part of the meal like the main entre and then you can prepare the side dishes if you want a sit down meal without doing a potluck. Include your guests by asking them to bring their own plates and cutlery... not only will you have a colorful table, but you can diminish a lot of the clean up this way, too.
Provide a lot of variety in the dishes you make. You never know if one of your guests will bring someone who only eats vegetarian or only likes meat dishes. Make something for everyone. You can apply this idea to any kind of appetizer recipes, or meal, no matter if it is a multi-course dinner or a wide selection of finger foods.
Even if you have spent all day making a huge dinner, put out your easy party appetizers for your guests to sample before they sit down to the table. A nice selection of hors d'oeuvres can help your guests relax and start conversations. Catching up with old friends is easier while they munch on delicious treats.
Help your guests socialize by forming conversational groupings with your furniture. You can place appetizers on the coffee table and the buffet to encourage groups to form. Food draws people, so they will tend to congregate near the foods they like. Keep your guests happy by providing plenty of food and beverages and your party will be a rousing success by everyone's account.
With proper planning, your event should run smoothly. No muss, no fuss. You can relax and enjoy your guests and the great food. Taking the time to prepare ahead of time is well worth the trouble and effort.
