Sometimes parties can be very elaborate affairs, with a grand dinner being the main focus of the event. More often parties are a get together of friends where drink and snacks are offered by the host.
Making your table look appealing always improves the party atmosphere so choose decorations to intersperse with the food displayed, adding a candle or two and some foil table sprinkles that are in keeping with the theme. Small flower arrangements always look splendid on a food table.
When choosing food for your guests it is wise to offer finger food so people don’t have to balance plates and glasses and try and eat with a fork at the same time. Items on cocktail sticks as popular, as are different toppings on small crackers. Try topping a salted cracker with cream cheese then adding a pickled vegetable to it (sliced pickled gherkins work well). These are easy to eat and very tasty.
For a special drink you could mix a large jug of sangria with plenty of fruit in it. Get a bottle of grenadine or something equally ‘sticky’ and pour a little in a saucer. Have another saucer of granulated sugar ready. Now take your glasses and dip them into the grenadine, then into the sugar. This gives the top of the glass a frosted look and the sugar tastes great when you are sipping your sangria!
