Q: Help! I'm having a party; what should I do?
A: This is a loaded question that I receive from friends and readers a lot! My first response is always the same - whatever you "do", keep it simple!
Plan for a casual cocktail party. Guests may be invited last minute; minimal seating is required; and food and drinks are easier to prepare.
Serve bite-size, no-untensils-needed foods - approximately 3-5 types. Purchase prepared foods at the grocery store and assemble on your own serving dishes.
Skip the full bar and offer a signature drink - one drink that can be served with or without alcohol. Want to show a little creativity? Give your drink a clever name - like Sunset Surprise - and start the conversation!
Above all, remember the the objective of a party is to have fun, which is another good reason to 'keep it simple'! Cheers!
