Avoid getting enthusiastic with the menu

Let the small party menu be kept sweet & simple

You need to have variety but not a menu spread like the one in a large corporate or wedding party. It should be a combination of some classics and few new varieties experimented successfully. Remember, having a lot of new dishes on the menu/buffet table cannot satisfy the hunger of your guests.

Avoid overestimating the bar

Like food, the choice of drinks varies from person to person. There are some who drink wine while some fancy beer. Even in wine and beer some like white or red wine or mild or strong beer respectively. Some of your guests may turn out to be a teetotaler. In such a situation, it is not possible to serve everyone’s favorite drink.

Your caterer would usually suggest one white & one red wine and some strong and rest preferably mild beer to keep the party lively without your guests getting tipsy! There will be something for everyone. If it is a non-alcoholic party, then a couple of mocktails and fresh juices will keep everyone hydrated.

Dedicated space for the buffet

Party at home is always endearing. However, if you are throwing the party at home, you have to ensure guests have sufficient place to move around in the house and not feel cramped while reaching for the buffet table. It is advisable to leave sufficient space to serve and display food items. All the same, if there is space constraint, you may review the guest list or hire a small community party hall where the party can be enjoyed by all.

Variety menu

It is advisable to not limit your menu to a single cuisine. In fact, it must be a combination to suit all tastes. You may add a few south Indian dishes, some staple North Indian fare, few continental and Chinese dishes. The guests will be spoilt for choice!

Backup plan

Expecting the unexpected is the key to success! A plan B always comes to the rescue! So be ready with an alternate plan if your original plan does not work out. There are a host of things that may go awry for example the inclement weather plays spoilsport or the entertainment team does not show up at last minute. No need to get upset. Ideally be prepared for any kind of consequences so that you can continue the celebrations even if things do not go according to your plan.
