Parties are fun. Well, they are supposed to be. The celebrator may be the main star of the event, but the main attraction is the food. Unless it's a party for dieters, a food-less party is not much fun. The food is always the special number every guest is looking forward to even if you have great entertainment planned for the party. And to ensure that you have the greatest party in town, let the food be taken care of by hiring caterers.

Why opt for catering over your own cooking? Admit it, even if you think you are an exceptional cook, preparing for at least five courses for more than five people isn't going to be a snap. With catering, the party's food fare doesn't take much effort beyond choosing food from a list.

Even if you insist that you are a master of cooking and you know you can take care of everything by yourself without feeling stressed, can you plan the whole party swimmingly with every little vital details present like cutleries and napkins and emcee the party simultaneously? Keep in mind that a party may have a dozen or more guests, even for a hundred or so guests.

Give yourself a break. It's your bash so you deserve to have fun. Even Martha Stewart needs people to aid her. You think she chopped every single ingredient in her extensive menu while she cut and glued decorations concurrently? Everybody needs assistance. Get yours in the cooking section.

One thing to remember, though, catering should not be just about food. It should be about great food and great service. And it should be complete with every little detail you might neglect if you have done it yourself. The food needs to be shown in an attractive table setting and should always be warm (or cold if it's dessert). There should be buffet table setting and warmers, necessary sauces, disposable cutleries, serviettes, and of course, trash bags.

Another great thing about catering: it is a lot cheaper than preparing the whole thing yourself. Think about it. Everything is there, the package has more courses. It's not just the usual appetizer-main dish-dessert routine; it has appetizers, main dishes, and sweets, plural, so that your guests can have selections.

Catering gets the task done. You and your invitees get to have lots of selections. The best thing of hiring catering is that you, as emcee, get to take all the credit while your guests acclaim you as a party wonder.
