Six tips for party perfection:

  1. Impressive presentation: Make party trays fresh and colorful by garnishing with edible flowers and herbs. Find them at the grocery store in the produce aisle or at farmers’ markets. Use your most attractive platters, baskets, boards and trays, then elevate them on the buffet table by covering sturdy boxes with the tablecloth to use as “pedestals.”
  2. Cooling cucumber: Floating lemon and lime slices in water glasses is a nice touch, but slices of cucumber make a unique garnish that's delightfully refreshing.
  3. Make ahead: Most dips can be made a day ahead. Take advantage of this when planning a party. You can also make flavorful snack mixes with Pepperidge Farm Goldfish® Crackers a day or two before your party.
  4. Cheese challenge: A cheese tray is always popular, but instead of Cheddar, try treating your guests to something different, like French Cantal or Bleu d'Auvergne, or Danish Tilsit. All of these go perfectly with Pepperidge Farm Crackers. Or, wrap a Brie Wheel with Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry for a simple Brie en Croute; then top it off savory (try pesto and roasted red peppers) or sweet (try apricot jam).
  5. Front and center herbs: Need a centerpiece? Make one out of fresh herbs rather than flowers. Not only is it different, but the aroma of fresh herbs enhances the food, too.
  6. Avoid predictability: Present foods in unusual ways – dips in wine glasses, desserts in coffee mugs, appetizers in small individual baskets or plates. You can even make individual “cups” by toasting Pepperidge Farm Whole-Grain bread inside muffin tins, then filling them with tangy Caesar salad!
