When all else fails, serve dip. Include crackers, chips or veggies to go along with it too. The following dips are all good go-to’s.
Whether you are having the event catered or cooking food yourself, decide which recipes speak to you and the type of event you are throwing. If you are wondering how much food to have available, think about how hearty your chosen appetizers are. A good rule of thumb is to round up. Will you be serving dinner in addition to your starters? If not, allot for each person to sample about 10 pieces. Allow for three to six pieces each if there is a meal to follow.
