It can be hard to plan a menu around more than one person, especially if that person is a picky eater or has special dietary concerns. Think carefully about whom you wish to invite and determine if you can provide appropriate food for them. Some guests may have food allergies, be vegan or need to cut back on carbs and sugar because of diabetes.
Deciding on a theme for the party may help narrow down what types of food you want to serve. For example, a circus-themed party could involve a lot of sweet treats, but if you have a diabetic friend, you should provide other options.
