Cocktail Party Etiquette
Serve any sort of hors d' oeuvre or
appetizer. One-bite foods, mini appetizers, and morsels that can be picked up
with a toothpick are all perfect cocktail
party foods, such as small puff pastries,
stuffed mushrooms, and dips and crudites. Have plenty of paper napkins
availale. Also have a number of vegetable choices and offer a range of choices.
Cocktail Buffets
A cross between a cocktail party and
a buffet dinner party, cocktail buffets
are a good choice for most informal
groups.
The cocktail buffet should have plenty of food, so guests won't need to leave
for dinner and can stay longer. Thus, a
cocktail buffet invitation usually states
only the hour of arrival. The menu may
vary from simple to elaborate, more
than just hors d'oeuvres are required
however.
