FAQS

  • If you are planning to serve dinner, plan about 3-5 appetizers per person.
  • If you do not plan to serve dinner, increase the amount per person according to how long your event lasts.
    • For a 2-4 hour event serve 8-12 appetizers per person. For an event lasting longer than 4 hours plan to serve 12-15 appetizers.
  • Keep them warm. Use chafing dishes & crock pots to keep things like creamy dip and meatballs warm.
  • Keep them cold. Place out only what can be eaten within 30 minutes, and then refill as needed. Add ice to a bowl or platter, and place the appetizer on top to keep it cold longer.
  • Use Ingredients. Black olives, green olives, fresh herbs, chives, peppers, and more can decorate foods to make them more spooky.
  • Make it festive. Use a cauldron, and other Halloween-themed platters and bowls to serve the food. Add to the Halloween theme with jack-o-lanterns, spider webs, mummies, a spider web, ghosts, and other Halloween Party Must-Haves.
  • Be creative. A fun trick to turn an average appetizer into a Halloween one is to make labels! Here are some examples:
