How much to make for your Halloween party: Witching Appetizers: Plan for each guest to have 4-6 appetizers. Also, provide a variety of hot and cold, savory and sweet, light and heavy appetizers. Frankin-Sides: Plan to have 3-4 different sides for 6 or fewer guests. Add another side dish for every 5 more guests. C heck here for my Side Dishes . Monster Main Course: Plan to serve 6 ounces per person if you are serving one main dish. If you have more than one main course plan for 8 oz total per person. Check out my collection of Dinner Ideas . Slimy Cocktails & Mocktails: A serving is typically 6-8 oz. Plan for guests to have 2 servings in the first hour, and only 1 serving for every hour after. Spooky Desserts: Plan to have at least 2 dessert choices for every 10 guests. I always have at least one chocolate dessert and one fruit based dessert. Be sure to check out our collection of Desserts . Tips for Choosing Your Frankin-Sides... Once you have your main dish selected you can start planning sides, but with so many options, how do you do it? Use seasonal ingredients they’re often fresh and cost effective. Complete the meal using at least one of each of the following vegetables, starch and salad. Include sides that can be made or prepped ahead of time. Mix in new and unique with tried and true. Once you have the traditional starch, veggie and salad recipes picked out go ahead and add something new. For 6 or fewer guests have 3-4 different sides, then add one more side for every 5 guests.

Setting up a dessert table: The dessert table design should be just as pleasing to look at as the desserts are to eat. Use a backdrop: drape curtains/fabric, balloons, a window with a view, even a plain wall can make colors pop. Incorporate height with tiered cake stands, stacked books or platforms under a table cloth layover. You can also add height by placing bowls and platters on some type of solid base. Flowers are always a nice accent to a dessert table. More Tips: Many desserts can be MADE AHEAD of time, and leftovers can often be kept in the freezer. See the individual recipes for freezing details. Desserts are a very easy item to delegate when guests ask what they can bring.

Gifting cookies is big tradition for me, so here are some of my top tips for packaging and gifting cookies for any holiday or occasion: The easiest is to put the cookies in a store bought box or tin. Dress it up by putting piece of tissue paper, or holiday/occasion inspired napkin, in the box before placing the cookies inside and finish it off with a pretty bow of ribbon or twine. Wrap in Cellophane! On a cute ceramic plate cover with plastic wrap or doily . Stack cookies in a pyramid form. Place the plate in the center of a piece of cellophane, bring all the sides up over the plate and gather them together. Tie with ribbon, tulle or twine. Bake the cookies the same size and stack them in a large mouth mason jar. Cover the lid, or with fabric or paper, or wrap jar in a pretty kitchen towel. Tie a ribbon around the top and add a cute tag. Save those Pringles cans! Wash and dry, then wrap the can with decorative paper. Stack the cookies in the can, cover with the lid, and top with a gift wrapping bow. So easy! Great for teacher gifts! Tube bags make the perfect pretty cookie packages. Stack your cookies, since the top closed and tie with a ribbon and personalized tag. A brown lunch bag is pretty in its simplicity. Stack cookies in a brown lunch bag. Fold the top over and punch two holes. Thread a simple ribbon through, tulle or raffia also work, and tie the top closed. Add a cute tag to the front of the bag.
