Elle’s Lucky 4 - Food
Party food is often an overlooked element of planning, and while it is completely fine to throw out some cake and simple snacks, here at QCC, we like to use the food as an extension of the theme, and to make the party even more fun.
Did you know that if you book one of our upper level packages, menu planning is included, but, if not, we have an a la cart option for it as well. That means, we can also take that pressure off your plate (pun intended)
When planning the menu, I always ask about your guest list (mainly adults, mainly kids, a mix, etc) and I like to include a few family/guest of honor favorites if possible.
For Elle’s party, it was mainly adults with a few kids mixed in, so I wanted a menu that catered to both. I also found out that Elle loves cheese and chips and dip, so we, of course added those to the menu.
We tied in as much color as possible with the food items, but, we also plated everything on matching gold dot platters, and put the dips in shamrock bowls to make it more cohesive. I also designed table tent labels with “Elle’s Lucky…” to further tie in the theme. The food was all a hit (especially that treat tray), so we chose well.
What is your must have menu item for parties?
