PHILIPPINES Restaurant and Wine Bar:

Are you planning to host a party? What preparations can you take care of a week in advance and what needs to wait until the day of the party? Follow these steps for a successful cocktail party.

The first step in hosting a party that everyone raves about is to make sure to choose your guests carefully. The secret is to invite people who are different, of different age groups and different professions. This way you have a unique blend of people who can carry on a wide array of conversations.

Once you have completed your guest list, it’s time to mail out invitations. Invitations should be sent 2-3 weeks in advance. If you are having a formal party, you should consider having the invitations printed by a professional printer. You should also decide whether or not guests need to RSVP. This is especially important if you are preparing a full dinner.

A week before the party, you should plan the menu and do the shopping. This includes any decorations or paper products you will need. There are some items you will buy the day before or even day of the party, such as flowers.

If you are preparing a large amount of food, plan dishes that can be made a day or two in advance. This way, you won’t be frantic the day of the party trying to prepare all of the food.

The size of the party and the amount of money you are able to spend will determine whether or not you hire a caterer. If you are hosting a large party, it is wise to hire someone else to prepare the food. Otherwise, you will spend the entire evening in the kitchen and not out with your guests. Compared to making the food yourself, caterers are expensive. If you are able to afford a caterer, it’s wise to get recommendations from friends or family. Unless you already have the caterer selected, it’s best to get quotes from a couple of different caterers. If you can afford the expense, hiring a caterer is the best food option for your party.

You may also need to hire a bartender and/or server. If you are hosting a large party, this is the easiest way to make sure your guests are taken care of. It’s also a good way for someone to monitor any guests who might be getting too intoxicated to drive. Make it clear to the bartender to stop serving guests who are drinking too much. You should also be prepared to arrange transportation for any guest who is intoxicated.

Use the day before the party to decorate. This is also the time to put away any valuables and to set up serving tables or move furniture out of the way. You should also buy flowers

and fresh foods, such as vegetables.

The morning of the party should be used to set the table, including place cards, and ice down beverages, such as beer and wine. You should also make your centerpiece and other floral arrangements and make your salads. Select the music for the party and load the CD player.

One hour before the party you should open the red wine and set out non-refrigerated hors d’oeuvres. Then take one last lookover to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything.

Spend the last 30 minutes before guests arrive getting dressed and freshening up.

Once the guests arrive, enjoy yourself and have fun.

As Manila becomes more congested and pollution becomes frustratingly intolerable, many families opt to spend a few quality nights and relax in this hotel in Angeles City Clark Pampanga. It is fair to say that YATS Clearwater Resort and Country Club is known for its faithful rendition of the American suburban lifestyle, all there for the enjoyment of all ages and all members of the family.

This resort hotel is different from other hotels in Clark Philippines or hotel in Angeles City.  This Clark Freeport Hotel has large space for children to play and adults to enjoy some peace and quiet in the picnic grounds near the lake.  Clark Philippines is lucky to have such a hotel.  Travel agencies think it is also a nice event venue for company outings, wedding, team building and planning session in the Philippines. They don’t think Angeles City, Manila or Subic has event venues like those in this beach resort in Pampanga.

New camping sites and picnic grounds in Philippines are now available for family outings in Philippines at Yats Clearwater Resort & Country Club in Pampanga Angeles City near Manila Philippines.  Just bring camping equipment and enjoy the fun and ambience of outdoor living camping in Angeles City Philippines under safe, secured and clean conditions.

This breakfast garden café is absolutely the most idyllic restaurant in Angeles City Clark Philippines.  You named it right – Clearwater Breakfast Garden and Café.  This is exactly what Clark Freeport needs, a nice simple bistro café where one can get good quality breakfast and enjoy the food in peace at leisure pace.  This is the best hotel restaurant in Angeles City Clark Philippines and the eggs Benedict as well as American Breakfast and the pancakes are really world-class.
