When planning a party, how much notice should you give the guests?!
Answers: with regards to sending the invitations? Also, does anyone have a clue on drinks catering quantities for 60 adults and 20 children??? Many thanks in advance
about 2 months. allow about 1/2 bottle of wine for each person and remember to have plenty of non alcoholic for the kids and drivers.
food..order from m&s catering delicious and not as expensive as you might think, plus they do kids party boxes ￡24 for eight. they also tell you how many people their dishes serve. have a great party!!
send the invites out 2 months before so everyone can put it in there diary and have no excuse for not coming !!
6 weeks notice
Drinks always have more than you need, it would be so embarrassing to run out.
atleast a months notice is best - as for quantities make sure each kid has enough fluids to last - this would be half a bottle of diluted drink each - depends on how long the party is...
Adults are quite happy with what they get and most of the sensible ones wont drink alcohol if they have kids - so more juice or alcho free drinks for them....
4-6 weeks.
What type of function is it? That would affect the quantity of food.
Send invitations two weeks at least in advance to the party. As for the drinks it would depend on what you were planing on serving? I used to work as a caterer and making large amounts and putting it in a dispenser is ideal for this.
about a month or so - people like to plan things in advance - and if you are having 80 people then its best you hire out a hall and get a catering service
about 2 weeks is all you need, get loadsa wine and loadsa pop you can always drink it afterwards its better to have too much than not enough and look tight, same with food
About 32% for the rest, use water.
about 3 weeks gives enough time to set up and prepare,and give guests time to check theere weekly events(meetings,etc) and not give 2 months,beacuse people may say oh yes im availible(beacuse they dont know whats goin to come up in the 2 months prior)and then they find out theyre not availlible.....
send like a month before.
60 adults huh?
um,how much ever you think you need,get more then that.
at least 3 weeks
AT LEAST 2 weeks. There are usaually a lot of things to get into, and two weeks notice is a must.
At least 2-3 weeks is good. If you have out of town guests you should send them out sooner.
