Appearance, flavor, and variety

If you are having the event catered, you will have X dollars to feed X people, and that’s it. This will greatly limit the amount you can spend. Further, most places will not allow you to supplement their in-house catering department with things you bring in from the outside.

If you are not hiring a caterer, then you will most likely be doing it yourself with some help from your friends. You need to take control of the menu right from the start. If you are planning on having it potluck, you will need to be extremely specific in the invitations in requesting what it is you want your guests to bring. (See “What Do I Include with the Invitations?” on page 78.) You will need to determine precisely what you want and then be as specific as possible with your guests. You can even go so far as to send recipe cards and have guests make and bring the item on them. (This is not usually the way to win a popularity contest, however!)

The easiest way to get others to help you and not screw up your party’s meal is to assign everyone something and give everything a backup. In other words, you tell Jill to bring a green salad and Tonya to bring a green salad, too. The worst that can happen is you end up with two green salads.

Otherwise, you can simply do it yourself.
