Presentation Is Everything!

In my own little world of party planning, I love to incorporate interesting ways to present food items. I have been known to choose a dish just on the bases of how cute it will look in some special display(Hello, Cheesecake Lollipops!). So when I found these little ideas at Brides.com, you can imagine my wheels began to turn! Could you just die at how adorable these mini pizzas are in their mini pizza boxes and their mini calorie count?!! You could make mini pizzas on english muffin crust, or small rounds of pizza dough. Personalize the little boxes however you like. I found a great tutorial on how to make the boxes at Follow Your Heart blog.

Soup and Sandwich Anyone?! I have always loved the idea of serving soup(tomato bisque here) in a beautiful tea cup and saucer. The addition of the tiny little ham & cheese sandwich is over-the-top cute! I think you would get the same effect by cutting the crust off of a regular sandwich and then cutting it into quarters.

Of course we can't forget the old take-out containers filled with noodles, salad, chips, veggies, or whatever suits your taste buds. You can dress up a plain box with monogram labels, stamped monograms, ribbon, etc.

These ideas may take a little extra effort, but by using some pre-packaged food items, you can reduce some of the work. And the visual impact will be well worth it!
