And to nibble on…

by Kelly on September 18th, 2007

For the premiere party, that is.

Always a hit:

Display of gourmet cheeses and fruit served with assorted crackers and breads

Shrimp, oysters, anything on a raw bar

Tomato and basil crostini

Olive tapenade crostini

Vegetable crudites

Roast Vegetable and Goat Cheese Napoleons

Grilled Mushrooms with Parsley Garlic Olive Oil

…and what upscale party would be complete without…

Creme Fraiche and caviar

Now, the uber-wealthy would never peel and scrape their own crudites - and neither should you. While we can’t all afford upscale caterers, you can do the next best thing: take a trip to your local market and browse around their party section. You ought to be able to find most of these items either already put together or with the barest of assembly required.

Real cocktail napkins, plates and cups add a nice touch (if you’re stuck and you can’t find the real thing, try some of the nice plastic party ware).

If you have to cheat a little, it’s okay. No one will notice. When it comes to hosting, it’s all about attitude - just ask Blair.
