Tips on Throwing a Party When Guests Have Dietary Restrictions

Whether it is for an allergy, a sensitivity, a special diet, or personal preference, about 60% of American adults are limiting their diet by removing one or more foods. How can you handle this common issue and still provide a great meal for guests at a special event? Here are a few tips:

Have a place to mark dietary restrictions on RSVP cards – Make sure you follow up if someone checks an allergy to see how severe it is.

Decide whether to alter the menu or just one meal – If a significant number of guests have the same need, it makes sense to adjust the entire menu. The same thing may be necessary if there is a dangerous allergy, even for just one guest. On the other hand, if one guest has a preference or mild sensitivity, you can provide one special meal or just mark items that contain the ingredient being avoided.

Why You Need to Hire an Event Planner

How to Make Your Corporate Event More Sustainable

Every company needs to be thinking about sustainability when it comes to corporate events. The public is demanding accountability from businesses, and making environmentally conscious decisions rather than simply planning a luxurious event is one way to show the public that you value their opinion. Here are a few tips for creating an event that is both sustainable and luxurious.

Chose the right location – Be certain the venue for your event makes sustainable choices themselves. For example, hand dryers instead of paper towels in the restrooms are a good indicator that the location is thinking about the environment. If they have receptacles for recyclables, that is another good sign.

Catering Trends for 2020

If you want to stay ahead of the curve when planning your events for 2020, here are some of the top trends in catering for the upcoming year.

Socially conscious – More and more consumers expect this from the brands they frequent. Using a catering company that sources food from local growers is a good way to show a social conscience.

Customization – People don’t like a one-size-fits-all approach to food any more than they do with clothes. Customizable food and drink stations help people to give themselves what they want.

2020 Snack Trends for Your Office

If you’re hungry for it, you can snack on it.
That’s the good news from America’s $86 billion snack and candy industry. With sales of snacks ($51 billion) and candies/ confectionery ($35 billion) reaching record levels, snacks are booming—and people are hungry for more. Americans enjoyed 386 billion ready-to-eat snack foods in 2018 alone, making snacks and candies America’s fourth-largest category for consumable goods.

Yet today’s consumer is motivated by more than mere appetite. People want snack options that fit their diets, lifestyles, and ethics. Snack companies are responding by going both broad and deep, continuously innovating to offer more types of snacks and candies made from an increasingly diverse ingredient palate. Today those new products alone make up nearly 5% of all snack sales.
