Make It Happen Tip: Presentation is magic!

One of my most favorite details in planning parties is deciding on the presentation. The presentation of your  food, decor, drinks, and party favors can be the magic of your party. It can put guests at ease and make them forget about all the To-Do stuff that is waiting at home for them. When you arrive at my party, I want you to feel joy, inspiration and happiness.

When I'm deciding on presentation, I like to think of what would make my guests feel that way when they walk in. I want them to know they are special to our family and we want them to have a great time while they are in our home.

When I'm setting up the 'presentation' of my party, I'm thinking of each food item I plan to serve and what it would be served in. Do I have those things around my home? I will even walk around my home, including my toddler's toybox to see what jumps out at me for a great food holder. Last summer, I used his red bucket at my End of Summer BBQ Bash to hold mini corn on the cobs. It was cute, different, colorful, summerish and useful. Take your time and look thru your cabinets or even walk around your home when you are deciding what to present your food in or on. You just might find something unique and inspiring.
