Having a small gathering coming up? Maybe a little social soirée? Whatever you call it on your invitations, there are plenty of logistical issues to be taken care of behind the scenes.
Among the most important of these issues is determining the layout of the area as well as deciding what parts of your home you want guests to have access to.
The more formal the party, the more stringent the issue of free-roaming guests becomes.
For most parties at home with guests from the office or others you haven’t known for years, the goal is to keep the guests in a more centralized area of the home.
The odds of doing this successfully hinges upon two things: having a restroom adjacent (or relatively close) to the main area and making sure guests have access to food and drink throughout the night.
Only one question remains. Who’s going to hold the tray of hors d’oeuvres? That one is easy; not you.
Well, here comes the serving cart to rescue the day. A well placed serving cart creates a place for guests to vanquish their snack cravings or refill their wine glass.
Designs span from modern glass and steel construction to more traditional versions like the one pictured above.
A serving cart with tiered shelves allows you to store extra glasses and chilled bottles of wine or beer on ice without having to play the role of the server all night. Or you can place the white towel over your forearm and prepare your, “Can I get you anything else?” speech ready. The choice is yours.
