Caterer, bar or home cooking: Which option for your party?

Whichever option you choose for your party, always plan large in terms of quantities. Next, determine how much time and money you are willing to invest.

Option 1: Use a caterer

If you prefer to relax and enjoy the party, the best choice is to hire a caterer. However, this can be expensive, as prices vary widely depending on the services offered. Do some research to find a caterer that fits your budget, and also consider more ethical options, like small food delivery services from local producers.

Option 2: Trust the bar where the evening is taking place

Another option is to trust the bar where you are hosting the event. If they are used to these types of occasions, they can advise you on the quantities needed and the types of food and drinks appreciated, while taking your budget into account. If necessary, some bars accept that you bring your own food and drinks on site.

Option 3: Prepare the meal yourself

If you decide to cook yourself, anticipate as much as possible to avoid the unexpected. Keep in mind that during a party, we eat on average 20% more than during a classic meal.

Provide generous proportions for appetizers, mains, cake and drinks. Do not hesitate to ask for help with the preparation and opt for dishes that can be prepared the day before.

Finally, don't forget the essential: the cake! You can choose to use your favorite pastry chef or order it online to close
