Entertaining Idea: Dinner by the Glass

With the holiday season nearing, I’ve thought a lot about party planning. And since I have several clients that ask me to help them set their homes and dining rooms for holiday parties, I’m always on the hunt for new party ideas I can use. While looking for a recipe on Pinterest recently one image grabbed my attention and gave me an idea that I think puts a fun twist on a typical dinner party.
Slide1
The Theme:
Instead of the typical dinner service that requires plates and bowls, each food item is served in a different drinking glass.  This is a great way to control the amount of food served and may allow you to offer up more menu items.

The Ingredients:
Cold appetizers are served in champagne glass, martini glass or shot glass, all of which hold the perfect amount of food to the wet the appetite.

The second course of soup is served in glass mugs which are easy to hold and scoop from.

 The salad course is served in a tapered tumbler or martini glass, perfect for holding pasta or greens, veggies and a scoop of dressing.

For the more substantial main course service, martini glasses or round double-old-fashion glasses would be perfect.

For the last course of dessert, wine glasses or shot glasses end the party of high note!

Of course beverages and cocktails can be served in old-fashioned mason jars…

Don’t you just love this Dinner by The Glass party theme?  When you think about it,  almost any food you make can be served in drinking glasses but the best part of a Dinner by the Glass party theme it that you’ll give your guest a fun, new dinner experience!
