Party Planning Tip #105--Know Thy Guests

Hi to everyone from chilly (but beautiful) Naples, Maine!

My New Year's Eve Party "Cooking Inn Style" show recently re-aired on LRTV (our local community station)& I wanted to share a tip on party planning. May seem simple but often times overlooked.

When we invite friends over for a casual party, no doubt we want food to be served. In your food planning (no matter how simple it is intended to be) always know the invited guests.

Does anyone have a food allergy (nuts, gluten, etc.)? Is one of your friends a vegetarian? Is everyone looking for more diet friendly food? How about your best friend who just loves your spinach dip? Well, make it for them!! You can always search online for new recipes to accommodate all---and maybe find some NEW favorites!

Design even the simplest menu with a personalized care that comes from the good friend/host/hostess you are! More tips to follow in the months ahead.

Best to all!

Your Maine Innkeeper,
