What the Food Rules of Your Cocktail Party Should be

When you host a cocktail party it is a very entertaining way to have so great time with your family and friends. Guests will like that fact of you serving some appetizers with the alcohol that you will be serving. As you are thinking about what to serve you should also think about how many people so you can have an idea on how much food you will need. For cocktail food, usually six bites every hour per person. However depending on the guests I would calculate a bit more then that.

Finger foods are good for cocktail parties. No big clean ups, and they can be prepared before everything gets started.

It is a wise choice to have some napkins or paper plates also. Your guests will have an opportunity to walk around and talk while they snack. And still not much clean up involved. More information about me.

Appetizers as a rule are small in portion usually bite size. Sausage rolls, mini cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries are all awesome ideas for cocktail party food. Pair up smoked salmon or caviar with martinis. Or make it really simple and offer cheese and wine.

You need to enjoy yourself so be sure that the cocktail party food that you choose is simple and will not require a lot of running back and forth from the kitchen. It will not be too entertaining if the host is nowhere to be found, it could in fact make some guests feel uncomfortable. Make sure that you have chosen a food that you are familiar with, and a food that can be made ahead of time. You should not have to slave in the kitchen when you are hosting a fun filled cocktail party. About me.
