Appetizers for Large Parties
Here are some ideas to get your New Year's party off to a great start, especially at the appetizer table:
- Begin by preparing the menu and determining the number of guests you'll be hosting. This way you'll know how many appetizers and party food you'll need to prepare.
- Once you've finalized your menu, create a detailed shopping list. Purchase non-perishable items well ahead of time and fresh ingredients a day or two before the party.

- Arrange different food and drink stations with a variety of options, such as a cheese and charcuterie board, a bruschetta bar, or make your own hot cocoa bar.
