How to have more fun at your own Party

One of the main goals for your party should be to make sure you have time to enjoy it!. This might sound strange, but no one wants to leave their guests alone t and to be stuck in the kitchen all night.  With a bit of forward planning, clever menu design and outsourcing you can make sure you are the life of the party, at your own party!
​

Keep the food simple

Food can be simple and tasty at the same time.  Food such as paella, pasta and  curries can be served in the pan they are cooked in, and they are easy for everyone to serve themselves - no special plating required. You can turn what is usually a very simple dish into a flavoursome extravaganza with the addition of some fresh herbs, spice or marinades.   But the best part is that one pot dishes mean only one pot to cleanup, leaving you more time to enjoy the night.
​

Get some hired help in

Consider hiring some help for the night as this small investment can make a world of difference to your enjoyment, and sanity, on the night.  If could be as simple as paying one of the neighbourhood teenagers to keep the tables clear, do the  washing up and emptying the bins, to  hiring a bartender to keep everyone’s drinks topped up, or getting a full service caterer in to do the lot.

Either way, the less time you need to spend worrying about the details on the night gives you more time to focus on the fun​

Save on the washing up

Gone are the days of the soggy paper plate.  These days you can buy great looking, stable and environmentally friendly disposable cutlery and crockery.  They are easy to dispose of into the recycling bin at the end of the night, the time when you are ready to sit down and relax!
