Hosting a party in your home this season? We have some entertaining tips to inspire you...
1. Appetizer amount
How many appetizers do you need per person for your party? Count on 5-7 per guest before a meal or 10-14 per guest if no meal is planned. Serve a cheese and fruit platter and other savoury items such as, tapas or spreads. Don’t forget something sweet, for example, white or chocolate dipped cheesecake lollipops or hand rolled chocolate truffles.
2. Enhance your cheese platter
- Add spiced or candied nuts
- Add a unique marmalade or jelly
- Label your cheeses
- Instead of crackers, use crostini and flatbreads
3. Invite all the senses
- Serve warm apple cider
- Play soft music in the background
- Dim the lights
- Use textured linens in a variety of ways
4. Create an atmosphere
Have 1-2 focal points of decor. Choose one to three colours that will add a sparkle or shimmer to your table. Something as simple as an arrangement of glass ornaments in a clear vase will make a big impact.
