There is no doubt you must have made all efforts to make the event a memorable one. Yes, there actually goes a lot of effort. But efforts when managed well, deliver beyond expected results. Birthdays are light moments and need some usual but creative moves to make it a refreshing and memorable one.

Decoration is one of the areas where you can really make things happening. Catch the eyeball and trigger the imaginations of your invitees by working on various theme-based decorations. Age of your birthday champ can play a good role in theme-based decorations. If he/she is a young kid, then you can spill some wonder characters from the cartoon world in your birthday venue. You know kids love cartoons. For our respected aged birthday hero, you can crack the nostalgia code. Well! it means you can go for a collection of old photographs and frame them as events of your loved one unfolded. Ideas are many you only need to think about it.

Catering is another important area which most of the party organizers fail to deliver. Going for disposal materials like cups, plates, napkins and utensils actually save time and money. Add some great food to the platter and see how you relax and enjoy your party. One point, often ignored, needs foremost attention, is how you invite them. This actually brings smile on the face of your invitee. Sending invitation cards instead of the new age practice of online invitation can be a beautiful beginning to your cherished birthday bash.

Let’s check out some of the latest Food Ideas that can be included in your event planning checklist and can go in a party of every age-group.

1. Cakes - It’s not just the era of the same old cakes. Come out of the illusion that a simple vanilla or chocolate truffle is enough to dazzle your guests. Try out some theme on your cakes. Prepare something that is related to the birthday person. If your baby girl is a fan of Barbie, why not bring the shape to your cake. If you have a huge number of guests to serve, preparing a two-tier or three-tier cake that would add more charm and suffice the guest list quantity.

2. Snacks - Starters or appetizers play a essential role in any birthday party. Be it a kid or adult, they all just love to fill themselves up with the little fried meatballs, cheese balls, popcorns, hot dogs, cupcakes, nachos etc. You can ask your caterer that while preparing your snacks or appetizers, make sure that they are smaller in size and are easier to eat because these are the things that can create more hassle than your actual menu could. Sandwiches make a grand addition to your starters. Be it a veggie one or ham sandwich, these are always a favoured menu item. You may also add some crackers with various types of dip.

3. Exotic Drinks, Shakes & Juices – Serve some interesting mock tails or innovative shakes topped with ice-cream. This is sure to be a hit among the children as well as adults. Who can resist the beauty of a glass filled with chocolate, ice-cream and topped with a cherry? Cold Drinks Make the drinks more colourful that can lend them a different edge but the taste should remain a little on the sweeter side so that kids can enjoy them in earnest. Some of the most popular drinks that you can prepare for your birthday party are Candy Apple Punch, Smoothies, or lemonade with a tang of pineapple, watermelon and many more.

4. Amazing Salads - Try out different styles of salads with fruits, chicken, veggies, corn and mushrooms in combination with cream, lettuce, herbs, olives, vinegar that enriches the taste of the salads. Using a pasta salad, or pairing up with some cottage cheese, pepper or kidney beans can surely make a healthy meal for your health conscious guests.

5. Main Course - The food that you are going to serve should not be on a heavier side as people have already filled up their appetite with the starters. Some of the popular international cuisines you may take upon Middle East dishes or Italian meal courses like Pizza or Pasta. For setting up a Continental buffet, you may consider the Thai dishes or some Chinese favorite's for your guests.

6. Desserts or Sweet Treats - Most awaited part of any event resides with the desserts. A favourite of every kid and adult, desserts are a show stopper for any event. But, using a scoop is not a trend of birthdays anymore. With the introduction of cinnamon rolls, lemon tarts, chocolate chip cookies, doughnuts, cream-filled croissant, chocolate puddings, cheese cake, puffs or jelly cakes, you can give a new name to your birthday dessert menu. Having a sweet treat just adds an additional layer of excitement to your parties. It would be more of a surprise for the birthday guy and the guests if you could arrange the treats according to your theme. The most popular sweet treats that could be arranged for your party are chocolate pops, Marshmallow kabobs, ice-cream sandwich, fortune cookies, candy cones, sugar sticks etc.

Health Conscious Indian Catering Ideas for Event

noreply@blogger.com (Asian Wedding Food) — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 10:36:00 +0000

These days’ healthy catering choices at events shouldn’t be dull or boring. Here are some mouth-watering and health-conscious Indian catering ideas to inspire your next event menus.

Guests are getting more and more health conscious these days and dietary requirements and choices requested are on the increase. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, raw… the list of diets goes on but the options offered by the venue chef or the caterer can sometimes be unsatisfactory and unappealing. At the same time, healthy options suitable for mass catering sometimes seem to be stuck in a time warp, tasteless or expensive.

The way that food is cooked and prepared has a massive impact on the nutritional value of the meal. Avoid food that is fried and opt for baked, poached, grilled, roasted, steamed or broiled choices. Don’t select anything covered in rich sauces and dressing or too high in salt. The important thing is to achieve balance in your event menu. A sweet treat is fine as long as everything is in moderation. Offer different portion sizes to give people the personal option of taking a smaller or larger piece. Likewise keep any dips, sauces, and dressings on the side so guests can choose if, or how much, to add.

Here are some new and exciting options you can try to make your current menus healthier and revamp some old favorites to make them more waistlines friendly. Regardless of the occasion, we hope this gives some ‘foods inspiration’ to satisfy even the most health-conscious crowd.

1. Make-your-own stations are always very popular with guests because they can tailor a meal how they want it. An excellent healthy idea is a noodle station because they can be accompanied by a good selection of vegetables and nuts such as carrots, avocado, cilantro, radishes, onions, basil and pine nuts. Low-fat sauces such as chili or soy breaks from the usual unhealthy thick sauces that contain a lot of yogurts, butter, and fat.

2. Fruit is always an excellent option for those who are looking for a healthy alternative for some of their guests; however, a traditional fruit bowl can be boring and often overlooked by guests as whole fruits can be messy, noisy or difficult to eat in company. Creating artistic arrangements or fruit sculptures can be a brilliant talking point and they can also double up as decorations or edible centrepieces for the tables make them easier to chose, digest and nibble. Try presenting individual fruits as a starter or desert by carving or creating them into new creations such as flowers. You can try ideas such as strawberry roses, tomato tulips or apple hearts.

3. Serve side salad in martini glasses for an extravagant, evening twist or for afternoon events serve them in teacups. Creating interesting and quirky ways to serve traditional healthy food can make it seem more appetizing and makes a plain salad fun and attention-grabbing.

4. Cucumber is an excellent healthy alternative to pastry appetizers and depending on the sizes depends on the different fillings you can add. From cheese to dark chocolate (yes, really) creating mini cucumber cups can be a mess-free way to enjoy the combination of creamy and crunchy which always make for interesting finger foods.

5. If you are serving alcohol at an event you can opt to serve healthier options such as gluten-free wine, light beer or soda mixes which will also appeal to those with special dietary requirements who are usually forgotten about when dealing with drinks. Try to make sure that you offer at least 2 or 3 appealing drink alternatives such as juices, low-calorie drinks or spring water for your guests who abstain from alcohol or are conscious about what they drink.

6. A delicious and classy, healthy dessert alternative that you can combine with superfoods, nuts or even create its own dessert station. Swap out the ice cream bar with a decorate-your-own Popsicle stand and provide chopped nuts, honey, berries and other healthy items to make their dessert unique and delicious!

7. For less formal events, opt for kale or vegetable chips with low fat and healthy dip options as part of a small buffet style setting to allow your guests healthier and more interesting alternatives. Kale in particular, when dried out properly, has the same consistency of chips with a lot fewer calories (plus other benefits too!)

8. Soup isn’t just an easy starter for dinners it can also be part of your conference menu. Avoid cream based soups and choose a recipe bursting with vegetables and flavor. Consider serving in recycled paper coffee style cups for convenience, alongside wraps and other buffet items.

9. If you are looking for a healthier red meat alternative then Portobello mushroom open-topped burgers are the way to go. These have a similar texture to meat, are bursting with flavor and go well with salad without feeling too “healthy”. They are vegan-friendly too. Take off the top of the bun and leave it open for a truly healthy and delicious alternative.

You don’t have to make massive changes to your menu to accommodate healthy choices; you can make a few adjustments here and there to leave your guests feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Don’t forget that one of the first tricks for healthier catering options is the presentation; make sure your menu looks too good to miss.
