in a cocktail party people can be more interactive and enjoyable , but in a buffet it's a little more serious but it can be some times enjoyable , and more OFFICIAL!.!. but would prefer a buffet to a cocktail party for a anniversity!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
cocktail party is fine- times are tight right now anyway, save your money!. plan it for after dinnertime and people will have eaten already anyway!. bring out appetizers a little in the beginning then bring out more later into the night when people will want to snackWww@FoodAQ@Com
A cocktail party is just fine!. You can still have crockpots of appetizer meatballs or small franks too !.!.!. and don't forget some platters of pretty cookies, mini-cheesecakes, chocolate-covered strawberriesWww@FoodAQ@Com
