 SERVING SUGGESTIONS FOR
A COCKTAIL PARTY
Probably the most convenient and flexible way to
entertain your friends is to host a Cocktail Party The hours
for this type of an affair may range from Five o'clock in the
afternoon and may last two to four hours.
Cocktail
parties may be delightfully small (eight to ten guests) or
large, elaborate affairs for one hundred or more. What your
guests will remember about your party will be the quality and
the presentation of the food you have served.
When you
choose to serve HOLIDAY FOODS' FRESH GOURMET HORS
D'OEUVRES AND ELEGANT CANAPES, it will reflect your
fine taste and deep desire to please your guests. The
following suggestions will help make your party be an affair
to remember!
- If only
Hot and Cold Hors d'Oeuvres are to be served, allow at least
eight to twelve pieces per person.
- If your
cocktail hour will be followed by a formal or buffet dinner,
allow at least four to eight Hors d'Oeuvres per
person.
- Provide
a congenial atmosphere and make your serving trays beautiful
and different.
- It is
very important to coordinate the "total" look by balancing
colors, shapes and variety
- Use
attractive, unusual trays, platters or mirrors and garnish
with fresh flowers, leaves and herbs, or create your own
special look.
- Have
plenty of cocktail napkins, plates and small, dainty
containers for toothpicks.
- Hot
Hors d'Oeuvres should be served "butler style" (passed
around on decorated trays), while cold Canapes are best
arranged on decorated mirrors and trays on the buffet
table.
- At
least three to six different types of Hors d'Oeuvres and
Canapes should be considered to provide a variety of
flavors, shapes and textures.
- When
serving HOLIDAY FOODS' fresh frozen Hors d'Oeuvres, follow
the provided baking instructions exactly as they are
given.
