Set a Time
Brunch typically happens at a specific time. Aim to host the party between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM for optimal brunch time. It’s not too early, and not too late. Plus, this time frame allows your guests to enjoy a leisurely morning and still have the rest of the day ahead of them.
Find the Perfect Venue
Choosing a location sets the stage for the event. For an intimate gathering, you could host the party at your home. If the guest list is larger, consider renting a private space at a restaurant, garden, or event venue. Pay attention to the vibe, accessibility, and amenities of the venue to ensure it matches your vision.
Pick a Theme
We love a themed party! When planning your brunch party, we recommend picking a theme that matches the occasion. Whether it’s a classic garden tea party, a tropical luau, or a trendy modern brunch, the theme will set the tone for the event. Use decorations, table settings, and even dress code (if desired) to bring your chosen theme to life and create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. And don’t be afraid to decorate for the theme! You can incorporate string lights, custom menus, signage, table settings, and more to bring your theme to life.
Invite the Cocktail Boys
Brunch is better with the Cocktail Boys! These gentlemen are your personal butlers, party hosts, game organizers, bartenders, and hype men. If you want to uplevel your brunch party, make sure the Cocktail Boys are on your guest list. Right now you can find the Cocktail Boys in Savannah and Charleston, but keep an eye out because they may be coming to other cities soon! Learn more about the Cocktail Boys.
Plan the Menu
You can’t have a brunch party without a menu! Classic brunch items like quiches, frittatas, fresh fruits, pastries, and breads are always a hit. You can also incorporate local specialties and seasonal ingredients for a special touch. Don’t forget to include a variety of beverages, such as coffee, tea, juices, and maybe even a signature brunch cocktail or two! Consider catering the event, or asking guests to bring a dish to share. Make sure to include options for different dietary needs and preferences.
Plan for Entertainment
Food may be the main event, but it’s also nice to include some entertainment at your brunch party. We’re talking about music, games, and other interactive elements. Music will set the mood and keeps the energy high. We recommend creating a playlist that brings the vibes to the party. And here’s a pro tip. If you invite the Cocktail Boys, they will expertly curate a perfect playlist to keep the party going!
Make Yourself a Planning Timeline
To ensure a smooth and stress-free brunch, make yourself a planning timeline that outlines all the organizational tasks leading up to the party. From menu planning, grocery shopping, and decor setup to coordinating with vendors and greeting guests, a timeline will help you stay on track.
