Pare Things Down
Pare Things Down
I’ve never subscribed to the saying “the more the merrier”. Not for homework, not for the pounds, not even for parties, and surprisingly, not even for food. Instead, I have always valued quality over quantity (at least in most things). And when it comes to cocktail parties, you never should listen to the “more the merrier” mantra, unless you want to get into trouble.

If you want to throw a great party, make sure you pare down your guest list to a manageable size. Now that manageable size will all depend on your cooking skills and how much help you’ll be getting. If you’re going to have a caterer take care of the whole thing for you, then go ahead and invite everyone you know (although be prepared for a big fat check!). But if you’ll be doing all the cooking and hosting yourself, be realistic and invite only a select number of people.
It also isn’t just your guest list that you need to pare down. You also need to pare down your menu or food selection. While it is indeed tempting to try to out all the delicious appetizers and amuse-bouche recipes you can find, remember that the food, being bite-sized, takes a lot of time to prepare. So be discriminating in the number and kind of food you choose to decrease the prep time.
