White Party Food and Drink Menu


The menu for an end of summer party should be light and seasonal. Try to avoid foods with too much color since much of your decor will be white, and party stains are almost inevitable. Our menu below is inspired by the Mediterranean, although you can tweak it to include any small plate favorites.

Serve lots of appetizers and finger foods buffet style to encourage laid-back mingling around the table. Make sure to set up extra seating and tables where guests can take their plates and sit down to enjoy the appetizers.
