THROW A PARTY - TIPS |
 |
|
You've had a long week, worked hard and miss your friends. How can you add a little joie de vivre back into your life?
By throwing a "French Cocktail" Hour Party, bien sûr!
The recipe is simple: take one portion good friends, stir in some great vibes, add affordable, delicious Champagne or delicious wines and top it off with tasty, decadent French hors-d'oeuvres made with the highest quality French products. Voilà!
THE 5 STEPS TO THROWING THE PERFECT FRENCH COCKTAIL HOUR
Step 1:
SPREAD THE WORD
Are you going to send invites/e-mails, make telephone calls or make your party a "word of mouth" gathering? Once you've decided, handpick your guest list and set your plan into action.
Step 2:
DETERMINE THE MENU
Hors d'oeuvres should be finger food, so make sure that everything you make is bite-sized and easy to eat.
Step 3:
WELCOME GUESTS
Have a tray of Champagne and delicious wines for guests. When they arrive, bring out the French hors d'oeuvres on small plates and circulate them throughout the crowd for tasting.
Step 4:
MAKE A TOAST… OR SEVERAL!
You should be the first one to toast your guests and thank them for coming. Then, depending on the party vibe, invite your guests to come and raise toasts of their own. A votre santé!
Step 5:
BID AU REVOIR
Thank each of your guests personally - Merci beaucoup! - for attending. Why not suggest a local restaurant where you all can continue the celebration!
