“As You Plan Your Special Get Together Remember, We Do Not Remember Days… We Remember Moments.”
~ Kimberly R. Jones ~


Celebrations
During celebrations our main goals are to acknowledge achievements, honor the people we love, and fully enjoy the present moment.
Parties
Grab and go setups for parties are perfect for achieving these goals. Grab and go food ideas are a lifesaver!
Events
Prepackaged party food served at events, cuts down on distractions, make cleanup a breeze, and lets everyone, including the host, enjoy the festivities without any hassle.


Best Finger Food Appetizers
Some of the best finger food appetizers to serve are premade, no need to stress about cooking!
DIY Ready to Serve
Choose foods that can be assembled two days before your party, still maintain their freshness and can be assembled into individual packaging.


Finger Foods for Parties
Incorporating prepackaged finger food is a key strategy when implementing an easy grab and go menu.
The finger foods can be hot or cold. Hot finger foods require a little more preparation and maintenance.
Cold finger foods are perfect for hosts who want a hands-off setup because they require minimal attention.



Easy Cold Party Appetizers
Easy cold party appetizers like wraps, sandwiches and salads are favorites for lunch and brunch buffets.
These simple to make appetizers can be made two days in advance and still maintain freshness.


Finger Food Party Appetizers
The finger food appetizers we’ve used in simple grab and go food buffets are chicken wraps, pepperoni sandwiches and fruit salads.
These are absolute crowd-pleasers! They’re all served cold, hearty individual snacks that 95% of guests love.


Grab and Go Brunch Food
For a grab and go brunch we used premade chicken wraps. Inserted the wraps in clear cellophane bags and sealed with a heat sealer to maintain freshness.
Condiments of dressing and sauce were also provided and served in mini containers.


Grab & Go Fruit
If you like simple and elegant displays for your food buffet menu… then you’ll also love our fruit cups.


Grab and Go Lunch Food
For a grab and go lunch we used these premade pepperoni sandwiches.
Using clear cellophane bags to seal with a heat sealer ensured freshness.
Mini containers served well for condiment placement and visual presentation.


Grab and Go Food Buffets
Another great idea is a grab and go dessert setup. Consider incorporating cookies from your local bakery.
Individually wrap the cookies in clear cellophane bags or black stripe cellophane bags.
Using different cellophane bags can be both practical and stylish.
For this event, we added black stripe bags to quickly help identify the cookies with nuts.
Using differently styled cellophane bags also adds more visual texture to the food buffet.


Easy Clean Up
The best reason to use easy grab and go food buffets is there’s minimal cleanup involved.
Guest help with clean up by simply discarding their food containers in the trash.
Prepackaging party food enables the host to spend more quality time with guests and enjoy the special occasion.



Creative Containers
Cupcakes are another great option for an easy grab and go food buffet.
When supplies were out of stock, we got creative and used clear plastic cups with lids.
Turning the cup upside down and using the lid for cupcake placement worked well.
Adding a little color coordinated tinsel on top created a more festive look.
A great idea for repurposing drinking cups and saving money.


Grab and Go Condiments
Showcase your condiments in a stylish way on your food buffet.
Mini containers are perfect for accommodating dressings and sauces.


Simple Prepackaged Snacks
Creatively displaying easy bite-sized appetizers and snacks in clear disposable containers will transform your buffet.
Guests feel special when selecting from a beautifully displayed buffet.



Quick Buffet Party Snacks
Assorted chocolates, cookies, cupcakes and chips are great opportunities to embellish your food buffet.
Here we used single serve boxes for brownies, chocolates and candy.
Inserted cookies in festive cellophane bags.
Then added customized labels and decorated with satin bows.


Luxe Food Buffet Setup
Create a more polished dining experience by taking the time to plan food, decide on decor and execute a luxe food setup.
By strategically adding decorative cellophane bags, boxes and bows.
Your grab and go food buffet will become an eye-catching center piece, apart of the overall décor and help make your occasion unforgettable!

Budget Tips
- Purchase an American International Heat Sealer – enables you to buy one size cellophane bag and customize to fit your exact need. Saves the added expense of guessing what size bag is needed for each food item.
- The clear cellophane bags are sold in quantities of 300. We cut the bags in half and used the heat sealer to close each bag. Doing so enabled us to obtain 600 bags for the cost of 300 bags.
- If your budget doesn’t support the purchase of an American International Heat Sealer… No problem. The clear cellophane bags come with decorative twist ties that can be used to seal the bags.


Individual Cake Containers
These small individual cake containers are functional and inviting.
We saved money by using a two layered cake, cut to size and placed in the clear containers.
The small containers are a perfect serving size and look fabulous on a food buffet table.
