Take the hassle out of throwing a 12
party by ordering all your food from
Sainsbury’s, plus we’ve got great
partyware, drinks, free glass hire
and super hints and tips to make
your ‘do’ go with a bang

We all love a good party – it’s great to
get together and enjoy good food.
In fact, the only downside is the
thought of catering. But thanks to Sainsbury’s
brilliant entertaining service, there’s no need
to spend hours in the kitchen.

Perfect for every event
Our tempting range includes sandwiches,
wraps, snacks and sweet treats. Fill in one of the forms
at the back of this brochure and hand it to a colleague at
the Sainsbury’s deli counter at least three days before your event,
arranging a convenient time for collection. Then all you need to do
is pick up your goodies and enjoy your party!
Celebration cakes
Our cake-ordering service is ideal for any celebration. From
simple birthday cakes and indulgent chocolate creations
to dreamy fairytale castles and fun pirate cakes, we have
wonderful designs to suit every occasion.
Free glass hire
There’s no need to worry about having enough glasses, as
you can hire them from us – for free*! See page 32 for details.

21 How much
do I order?
DaOtortbdlnheeeeafr’ostdytreoeftluohyirrcorepougeluraednetatttveeye.rr.sns.att
It’s better to have too much rather than too
little – you don’t want to be on the phone
ordering pizzas when your guests have cleared
your platters and are looking for more food!
So, work out in advance how much food you’ll
need. As a rough guide, allow 4-6 pieces per
person per hour, so if you’re expecting 10
guests and the party is going to last three
hours, serve up 120-180 portions. See page 34
for our party planner with some fantastic
combinations of platters.

Every order is freshly
prepared just for you – all
you have to do is pick it up

Mix it up

It’s tempting to order all your favourite foods,
but remember that your guests might include
vegetarians, expectant mothers, or kids, so you
need to have a range of veggie, fish and meat
options. Sainsbury’s platters cater for everyone
– if you order a variety you’re bound to please
and there’ll be no need to rummage through
your cupboards to find alternatives.

TIP… Ask friends or family to help out

handing round platters of food – do one circuit
of the room, then put it on your table to free up
time to mingle.

Young children may be quite upset when
they lose a game like musical statues. Instead
of telling them to sit out, give them a sticker (so
you can keep track of who’s still in the running)
and let them carry on dancing.

3 CHOOSE THE RIGHT GAMES
Physical games are great if you have the
space – try an obstacle course or a limbo
competition. Make sure you have some quiet
games, too, though. Try cookie decorating or
mask making for primary school-aged children.

SETTING THE SCENE
3-pack 35cm ✶ Decide which rooms you’ll host the party in and clear out any
aluminium platters
122248987 £2.50 bulky items that could make the room crowded. Think about
3-pack 30cm moving chairs around or borrowing some extra ones to create
aluminium social areas for people to sit and chat
round platters
122248717 £2.30 ✶ Close the doors to the rooms that are off-limits – it’s also a great

place to temporarily store extra furniture

✶ Raining on your parade? Don’t worry, get everyone to leave

their brollies in a basket or bucket outside, and make a space
somewhere for people to dump their coats

✶ Everyone does end up in the kitchen at parties… so make sure

you’ve got lots of worktop space free for people to make drinks,
and for you to load up your platters with food

✶ Swaying to Take That or air guitar-playing along with Led

Zeppelin? Decide what kind of music the majority of your guests
will enjoy, create a playlist of the songs and have the hi-fi all
hooked up and ready to go

✶ Bright lights aren’t flattering – if you have dimmers, use them

to make the room warm and inviting

✶ Decorate your room or garden with different coloured napkins

stapled over string to create inexpensive party bunting

LAYING THE TABLE
✶ Put coloured glass beads in decorative bowls as an alternative

to fresh flowers – they won’t get in the way when you want to
put your platters on the table

✶ Do you have a cake stand? It looks nice when food is displayed

at different heights and it will give you more space on the table.
If you don’t have one, an upturned bowl works just as well

✶ If your table is in the centre of the room, move it to the side to

make more room for guests to move about. Or if you have lots
of small tables, use these instead of one large one – it prevents
crowding in one area
