Guidelines To Organise A Potluck Party
Most often, you are totally stressed out about throwing a party. You run out of recipes and party ideas. Then there is a whole load of work to be done because you are organising the party alone. A potluck party is the easiest way to entertain at home without taking any stress. In a potluck party, everybody chips in. All the invitees come prepared with dishes on the menu. It is one of best party ideas to have an entertaining evening at home without getting bogged down with too much work.
A party is supposed to de-stress you not increase your stress levels. That is why potluck parties are very popular among busy professionals these days. If your house is the venue for a potluck party, then you must follow these guidelines to make sure that the event goes through without any hiccups.
Meticulous Planning
The important thing for a potluck party is planning. If the party is at your place, then you don't have to do all the work apart from planning. Plan all the dishes in the menu. Make sure that similar dishes are not being made by two people. Also ensure that your menu is balanced. You cannot have 6 appetizers and just 2 main course items on the list. You must also come to a conclusion regarding how much of each item should be cooked. People usually have just 1 bowl of soup but they can have several cutlets.
Party Decor
If your house is the venue, you are responsible for coming up with party decor ideas. Since the concept of potluck is to mix and match, that should be reflected in your decor. Let your living room be a riot of colours. You can use different coloured cushions and also play around with curtains.
The Crockery
Crockery poses a unique problem in potluck parties. Everyone will be carrying their dishes in different kinds of containers. So, how you serve these dishes at the table? Ideally you should sponsor the crockery and cutlery for the party yourself because it is your house. In this way, some uniformity can be maintained in the table settings.
Table Settings
Usually a potluck dinner is an informal affair. So, you can lay the table with lax rules. However, make sure you have flag cards that mention the name of the dish and who has cooked it so that there is no confusion.
Make The Appetizers
This is an expert tip to be a great host for a potluck party. Always take the responsibility of serving the appetizers at the party. This is to ensure that the appetizers can be served steaming hot straight from the kitchen.
