In the 2009/2010 Winter Issue of Missouri Meetings & Events Butler’s Pantry gives readers some direction on how to save money while still throwing fabulous Holiday Parties.
Cassie Burd, VP of Sales & Catering, is quoted as saying, “By changing the length of the event, the company can save on the total cost. For instance, instead of hosting a five-hour dinner party, switch to a three-hour cocktail reception. This will save on the cost of food, beverages and service labor.”
Trends to look for this Winter?
Try soup shooters at your next event. “This Winter, these warm and tasty sips will have your guests saying ‘the weather outside is frightful, but the passed hors d’oeuvres are so delightful.’ Soup sippers take a selection of cozy seasonal soups, place them in double shot glasses and make them an easily accessible appetizer whether positioned at food stations or passed.
Many full-service catering companies offer warm soup sipper selections that include tomato, butternut squash, truffled mushroom and lobster bisque.”
