Fandango Catering Offers 4 Ways to Make Your Event Fun

In the past year we've had many clients looking for ways to make their events, from small parties to large weddings and corporate events, fun.

Gone are the days when weddings were stiff, formal affairs where everyone is bored and the occasion seems interminable, or when corporate affairs were as buttoned down as the heyday at Miss Porter's School for Girls.  Without being outlandish or vulgar, events have become fun--guests want to enjoy themselves, and rightly so.

Here are 4 ways to make your event fun:

Choose a theme--This is the easiest way to make your event fun as everything flows from the event theme, from food to colors to decorations to music or entertainment.  Some themes we're doing this year are Pan-Mediterranean, Argentine, Western, Retro 60s, and New Orleans.

Use Color and "little" touches--While too many bright tropical colors together is too much, color is a great way to bring a sense of fun to your event. Move beyond white and beige! This is especially true if your event space, whether a home or venue, is white or beige, or has beige furniture. "Little" touches? These are things like themed candies sprinkled on tables or bowls of nostalgia-type candies set out or nostalgia-type sweets like homemade Hostess cupcakes set out for guests.  This idea is often used at Hollywood parties.  No big serving trays? No problem--at Hollywood events small glass bowls and plates of candies and sweet treats are often put out as a kind of fun buffet on a luxe coffee table or at an outdoor table, and they add to the fun at the event for all ages.

If you hire help, have them wear color too--Another idea big in Hollywood and at spas: pastel polo or long-sleeved shirts or pastel ties with white shirts for the servers look new and fresh, especially for spring and summer events.

Serve at least one unexpected food presentation--Whimsical food presentations like cones, mini lobster pies, soup in hurricane glasses, savory lollipops...This will also add a sense of fun to your event--but of course they must taste great!

Then relax and have fun with your guests.

Warmly,

Kristina
