Planning The Perfect Party At Home

Planning a party can be a daunting task but with these simple steps from the best Caterers in Campbelltown you can cover most contingencies.

The nature of the event

It’s better to opt for a simple buffet for a large crowd. A cold fork menu is easier than a hot one to manage and can be prepared in advance leaving you free to talk to guests. If you plan to host a large number of invitees in a small area, it’s best to suggest that people drop in at certain hours rather than all of them arriving at the same time.

It’s all about the Numbers

Estimate the number of people you will be able to fit into your space - if planning an outdoor event, remember everyone will end up looking for cover if it rains! Its not just about the space for the guests, but also about what your kitchen can cope with.

A big enough work surface is needed for Canapés that are particularly challenging. Temporarily set up a dinner table as a work station if you need only a small surface to work on. If you're serving up a hot buffet or planning live cooking from Campbelltown Caterers, make sure you haven't got lots of items vying for space.

Stocking Up

Clear out unwanted stuff that you don't need for the day or store a few items with a neighbour. You will need to make sure food is refrigerated and stored in a hygienic manner. You can stack items using plastic tubs, trays or clean cardboard boxes. Chill drinks well in advance and transfer them to ice-filled cool bags.
