Feeding v Entertaining; special event party food should have two objectives:
Feeding; 70% should be crowd-pleasing, familiar, and palatable ‘safe’ options intended to leave guests feeling well-fed
Entertaining; 30% should be to treat your guests, surprise them, indulge them, impress them, share experiences with them, and even help them discover new things
Unusual; 10% of that 30% should be quirky, unfamiliar, adventurous, fun treats that get people talking
Visual; 10% of that 30% should be visually arresting treats that contribute to presentation and add wow factor
Favorite things; 10% of that 30% should be treats that reflect your own personality and taste

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“Any product that allows you to personalize it with a photo is a great opportunity to use old photos of the guest of honor from when they were younger.

In this case you could place multiple orders using either two ‘then & now’ style photos or a number of photos showing them ‘through the years’.

This makes the marshmallows even more unique and entertaining for party guests; especially for milestone birthdays and occasions such as anniversaries, graduation, and retirement.

Serve these as individual bite-size treats presented on tasting forks standing upright (see my post here), as dessert kabobs on skewers (see here), infused with sauce / liquor using pipettes (see here), or as a garnish / topping for cakes, puddings, and treats served in milk bottles (see here).
