Mahalo expert Christina Nardozzi offers a tutorial on how to chose catering for your New Year's Eve party.
Unless you are solely focused on having a small New Year's Eve Party, you will likely need to utilize catering and other services to help your party run smoothly. Consider looking into parking or valet services to avoid traffic jams in front of your home, servers to provide your guests with non-stop food, cleaning staff to help maintain order during and after your event and a bartender to help cater to your guest's libation desires.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-YZ7kE2Ens
Having a memorable party is more about making sure the basic necessities are accomplished without running yourself ragged. Consider catering all your food needs as there are catering options for almost every level, style and guest count.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-YZ7kE2Ens
Step 1: Review Parking Options
Unless you have a large parking lot in front of your home, parking is likely to be an issue if you are having a medium to large-sized New Year's Eve party. Consider hiring a valet service and looking for alternative parking arrangements for your guests. You can opt for a nearby parking lot that is monitored by your valets, or ask your neighbors if you can use their driveways for the evening.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-YZ7kE2Ens
Step 2: Food Servers
If you are hosting a large party, you should consider hiring a server or two to help distribute your food and meal items. Hiring help can give you time to enjoy your own party, rather than simply trying to attend to your guest's needs. Depending on the type of party you are throwing, you may also want to hire a bartender. To keep finances under control, consider asking your friends and associates if they know of anyone who may want to earn some extra money by helping out at your party. Depending on your home supplies, you may also need to look at renting plates, glasses and flatware.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-YZ7kE2Ens
Step 3: Catering Options
When deciding on your food options for your party, you have multiple choices that you can match to your party theme and size. You can opt to prepare items yourself and supplement with some prepared items from your local grocery or warehouse store. You can also opt to buy all of your food items by using cheese trays, small sandwiches and appetizers from restaurants, delis or other food preparation services. For larger or high-end parties, you can look into full-service caterer, which may offer special options for large parties.http://www.partyspot.com/articles/article.aspx?articleid=A60428124727
