Christmas is really just around the corner. Aside from gift giving, people are most excited about the food that their tables during Noche Buena will have. In a Filipino set-up, Christmas is the time of the year where family and friend reunions are happening. And what’s the best way to re-unite, of course to eat, to eat and to eat!
With this, Christmas parties are never complete without a delicious and mouth-watering food in one’s table. A party holder or coordinator is very busy not just for choosing the food but most especially busy in deciding where or to whom to get the food. There are two ways to answer this: (a) get a menu set in your favorite fast food chain and choose from the menu (b) ask a catering service to prepare your Christmas party
Party food on your Christmas party
During the Christmas season, we really cannot avoid Christmas party invitations. It is very rare for a group of friends and companies not to hold their respective party when the Holidays are coming.
Restaurants and fast food chains are among the popular choices of party holders during Christmas season because of the menu set that they are offering. People who are in-charge of the food during company and school party will just choose among the menu set and ask the restaurant to deliver it during the party time.
Based from my experience as a coordinator, this method is easier and cheaper than asking for a caterer. But sometimes, due to the bulk orders, freshness and hotness of the food is being sacrifice. Aside from this, they don’t offer different amenities unlike caterers do. For a simple Christmas party, I think getting a restaurant or fast food chain to provide you with food is advisable.
On the contrary, catering services are also offering affordable and good-deal package during the Christmas season. Of course, from their usual catering amenities, a caterer can provide a “Noche Buena” feeling during your company and school party with additional set-up or amenities on your package. Your caterer can do parlor games and give prices to winners.
Aside from the freshly cooked and hot food that they will give you, you can also be sure that there are 3 or more food choices on your table depending on how many food your chosen caterer prepare for your given budget. A catering service will also give you less worry because they will prepare everything, from the tables and chairs set-up, venue set- up and food set-up. This is something that ordered food from a fast food chain and restaurant will not do for you.
On your soon Christmas company and school party, give it a try to ask for a catering service to provide you with your party food. You will not waste your money and surely, you will enjoy every cost of it.
Merry Christmas everyone!
