Let’s talk about food. The timing of your party is pretty important so your guests know what to expect food wise. Should they eat before? Is it ok to plan to eat at the party?
In my opinion, if you’re having your party during a meal time, you should provide an actual meal. It can be simple like pizza, for example, but provide your guests with something that can fill them up. I have been to several events that started at a mealtime but there were only snacks provided and there is nothing worse than trying to fill up on snacky foods, or even worse - sweets! 😫 Don’t get me wrong, I love sweets, but not on an empty stomach… 🥴
If you don’t want to provide a meal, that’s totally fine! Just move your event in between mealtimes. This party was from 2-4 pm so we just had cheeses, meats, crackers, veggies, fruits and then a few desserts. You can get away with not serving a meal if you do your party between mealtimes and in this example, I don’t think anyone was expecting lunch at 2 pm.
Have you ever been to a party where you were expecting a meal and there were only snacks?? I’d love to know if I’m the only one!
Also, how cute is that partying velociraptor eating the turkey?! 🦖
