So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Considerations For Special Event Catering

By Andrea Davidson


Regardless of whether you are throwing a small party for close friends and family or a large reception, special event catering will always be something that you will need to consider. The food you serve your guests needs to be tasty and also take their personal preferences into account. This will help make your event an unforgettable one.

When you decide to host a party, one of the first things that will come to mind is the type of food that will suit your event. If you are hosting formal events then you could consider having a fine sit down dinner. For informal gatherings and cocktail parties a few delicious snacks might be a far better choice.

If you are not a great cook do not despair. There are many companies that can help you come up with the right meal plan or food to serve for the events you planning. By hiring the right events company everything will be taken care of from the preparation of the food to the cleanup, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the evening or day your guests.

If you are planning to hire a caterer it is beneficial to have a general idea on the type of food you want to serve. This will help the caterer plan a menu that will suit the theme and style of the occasion. They will also prepare a few sample meals for you to try so that you can determine whether you and your guests will love the food.

An important factor when arranging any events from cocktail parties and corporate events to birthdays and weddings is the number of guests that you will be attending so that you can cater for them all. It is crucial that there is enough food to avoid anyone leaving the party hungry. In order to be a successful host, you must ensure that your guests do not complain about the food running out.

You also do not want to waste any food. If the caterer makes too much then you run the risk of wasting money as well as food. For this reason it is important that you know exactly how many guests you will be expecting.

The next thing you need to consider is whether you would like to guest to be served or if it would be easier to have a buffet. For a formal sit down dinner with not many guests you could consider having them served. Most caterers will provide the sort of service. The advantage of this is that the caterer can then control the portions and ensure everyone gets a good meal.

For bigger events a buffet is an excellent option. With a buffet your guests will serve themselves. Buffets also tend to be more cost effective however you cannot control the portions and some guests might take more than they are supposed to.

Special event catering can be tricky if you have never arranged any events before. By hiring the right caterers you can ensure that your guests will leave satisfied. A final tip is to always try to serve quality over quantity if you want your guests talking about the food for months to come.
