Setting the perfect menu

As an intern at Perfect Productions one of my assignments is to create a themed menu. This assignment is one that is both fun and exciting, also I would think that nobody's menus will be the same. The first step in creating a themed menu is to first have a theme for the party or event. Depending on the size of the event the amount of options that will be served is crucial to those details. Once the theme of the event is set and the portions are instilled, it is important to then decide how many courses will be served. If its a small get together are they serving only hors'dourves or is it a full four course dinner? Once that is decided you can then pick the foods and drinks that will be served. The menu should relate to the theme and have foods that can be in relation to what theme is going on for the entire event. Creating an event that has a menu and a theme that are coincided with one and another can really make the whole event much more exciting and fun for not only the guests but also the person who is planning the event. It gives the planner a chance to use creativity and their own personal style to create an event that everyone will love.
