Serving Trays
Serving trays are more than just sturdy objects you can place food and beverages on during a party. Serving trays are part of a great presentation that overtly impacts the overall success of your party. Serving trays should be well thought out and be part of your overall party design.
Some party planners pay very little attention to the serving trays they will use for the party. These planners think it is the food, not the serving trays that will have the impact. However, if anyone has ever seen stuffed mushrooms served on black serving trays they will immediately understand why serving trays play an important aspect in your overall food presentation.
Serving trays come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Choosing the right serving trays will depend on your party plan, theme, décor and budget. Plastic serving trays are nice enough to be used at almost any event and are the most cost effective.
When planning your party and considering the serving trays you are going to buy you may want to consider your overall party style. For example, if you are planning a first birthday party, you may want to consider having different shaped serving trays, playing on a geometric theme.
You can use four triangular serving trays together to form a square. Each of the serving trays may have a different colored item in it. The combination of this would result in four triangles to add to your theme and a colorful square – the presentation of the food becomes part of your overall décor.
Perhaps you are planning an over the hill party theme. Then you will want to consider using black serving trays. For some food items that will not display well on the black trays (brown foods for example) you can use a light colored doily to help the food pop out on the tray while sticking with your black themed serving trays.
Parties with an Asian theme or an exotic theme look great with square shaped serving trays, adding to the overall design of the party. Black square serving trays and white square serving trays accented with the greens of scallions look great when serving this type of cuisine.
A tropical party theme looks best when the serving trays you use have different colors and shapes that add to the overall atmosphere of your party. Savvy party planners however may buy more neutral colored serving trays, however, and accent them with flower pedals or full flowers to give that tropical look and then be able to use those same trays for other parties.
Many consumers are surprised by how many different options there are for serving trays because they are used to only a small selection of serving trays at large retailers or even at some of the specialty retailers that carry serving trays for parties.
