Here’s How You Throw A Great Potluck Party On A New Year’s Eve!
We know you are busy like hell but at the same time, you cannot do without a new year party! Isn’t it? Here’s a solution to all your problems- Potluck!
Try something different this new year’s eve. Ask your friends to be a part of your new year’s party and bring along a dish to be served at the event. Isn’t it a clever way to lessen the party planning burden and make your party interesting at the same time? Read on to know more tips to throw an impeccable potluck party.
Be well informed about food restrictions:
Prepare a guest list for your party. Thereafter, take time to know if any of your guests have any dietary restrictions. Once you’ve known them, tell the other guests so they can consider this while choosing their dishes. Also, let all your guests know if their dishes need to be gluten-free or vegan or not.
Communicate and plan out a menu:
You need not slap a menu of your choice on your guests’ faces. Instead, you can create a Google Doc and when you send out invites, you can include a link this document. Allow your guests to fill out their names, recipes, and drinks that they wish to bring. This will not only help brainstorm recipe ideas, it will also eliminate any duplication of dishes.
Make appropriate seating arrangements:
Since you’ll be the host, you’ll have to take care that there’s ample space for sitting. So, tidy up, make space for displaying the dishes that your guests will be getting along with them, set up extra tables and chairs, and also prepare your kitchen to take care of temperature sensitive food.
Take care of utensils, disposables, and labels:
Make proper arrangements for containers and disposable plates and utensils. Also, arrange blank cards and markers so that all your guests can label their dishes and let people know what they’ve prepared for the party. You can further make arrangements for condiments so that they are served in pretty containers next to the respective dish.
Take the responsibility for the main dish:
Being the host, always remember this potluck party etiquette- you are responsible for the preparation of the main dish. Apart from this, you also have to make sure that you make appropriate arrangements for non-alcoholic beverages and a dessert or two. Also, make sure you have some emergency items on hand in case one of your friends is not able to make it to the show.
Be prepared for the inevitable:
As a matter of fact, people tend to overcook for a potluck party. As a result, there’s a lot of unused food left to deal with. So, it’s advisable to be prepared for the inevitable. Purchase enough plastic wrap, kraft-paper boxes and disposable plastic containers so that your guests can take the extra food along with them when they leave.
Keep these tips in mind and you are all set to throw a great potluck party!
