Some Simple Food Rules For a Cocktail Party

Hosting a cocktail party is a fun way to spend time with your family and friends. But when you serve alcohol your guest are sure to appreciate a few bites of food. When you are deciding what to serve you must think about how many people will be attending, this will give you a good idea of how much food you will be needing. For cocktail food, usually six bites every hour per person. However depending on the guests I would calculate a bit more then that.

Finger foods are good for cocktail parties. They can be prepared prior to the cocktail party and they require little clean up.

It is a wise choice to have some napkins or paper plates also. Your guests will have an opportunity to walk around and talk while they snack. Little clean up will be involved. Our profile.

Appetizers as a rule are small in portion usually bite size. Sausage rolls, mini cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries are all awesome ideas for cocktail party food. Pair up smoked salmon or caviar with martinis. Or make it really simple and offer cheese and wine.

Whatever the cocktail party food of choice you need to be sure that you enjoy yourself at your cocktail party as well. It will not be too entertaining if the host is nowhere to be found, it could in fact make some guests feel uncomfortable. Make sure that you have chosen a food that you are familiar with, and a food that can be made ahead of time. You should not have to slave in the kitchen when you are hosting a fun filled cocktail party. More about me.
