The Holiday Season is a wonderful time of year when friends and family come together. We love that many of you invite us into your homes to make these gatherings special. In our 15 years of catering in Sun Valley, we have learned a thing or two about party planning. Here are our tips to help make your events flawless.

1. Call Rasberrys! Dial 208-726-0606. See what we can do for you, then you can plan from there!
2. Rasberrys always has take and bake cookies on hand! Think how good the house will smell and no one will even know you "cheated"...
3. Housemade chips, salsa and guacamole are readily available and always a fave.
4. Make ahead...A simple plate with brie and Rasberry's chutney or jam with crackers, spiced popcorn or nuts with Rasberry's spice seasonings (think "everything bagel"), jalapeno ranch, classic ranch or green goddess. Hummus and Rasberry's homemade pita, feta and mixed olives with olive oil, orange peel and z'aatar spice mix. --Remember it doesn't hurt to ask others to bring these items.
5. Set the table with candles and pine cones or branches from outside or cuttings from a local florist. Simple arrangements are easy and fun too--think single stems or just greens.
6. Ask others to bring their own wine/drinks
7. Do rent wine glasses and dishes if needed. They are cheap and it saves the environment from plastic and not so many dishes to do.
8. Use a cooler filled with snow and put outside as storage for cold drinks.
9. Set up a playlist for music on your phone. Keep it neutral.
10. Pre-arrange "DD" transportation to and from--think Uber, local shuttles or taxis...
