First of all, I want to wish a Happy New Year, full of happy moments!
Brunch is one of the things we don’t have in Brazil (at least it’s not common to find it) and I fell in love when I moved to the US. Breakfast is my favorite daily meal and, as I wake up later on the weekends, I love the idea that I don’t need to skip it and go directly to lunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
My birthday is approaching and I was thinking about having a brunch party to celebrate it and I found out this could be a really easy to execute party and very yummy at the same time.
Here are some tips I think will help you to set up an amazing brunch party.
My suggestion is to make a casual buffet, one for food and other for drinks. I’m listing some options below.
Menu
– A colorful food tray will bring some freshness and also add a visual interest to the table;
– Egg dishes that you can prepare in advance, such as quiches and frittatas are good options as they won’t require last-minute preparation;
– A bagel bar like this in the photo is one of my favorite ideas;
– A waffle bar will make your guests very happy as well.
And, as we always remember, make sure to ask your guests if they have any food restrictions/allergies.
Drinks
I love the idea of offering brunch favorites here, such as mimosas and bloody Mary. Check out this post where I shared some brunch cocktails ideas. Also, make sure to have non-alcoholic options such as juices, coffee and teas.
You can also add a theme to your party and elevate the fun level of your celebration.
I’m still deciding what I will have for my birthday party this year, but I get excited about the idea of planning a brunch with my friends very soon. What about you? Let me know if you’re a fan of brunches by leaving a comment.
