Goodbye Winter! 5 Spring Party Catering Ideas

Celebrate the end of a long winter and welcome spring with these spring party catering ideas! Shirley's Catering: 703-239-0102.

We at Shirley’s Catering are ready to leave winter behind, and it’s likely we speak for almost everyone in Northern Virginia about this. So as the sunlight stays longer and the weather finally warms, it’s time to party! Here are 5 spring party catering ideas to celebrate the season!

1. Bright, Sparkling Beverages

Refreshing and bright are exactly on point for spring party drinks this season. At Shirley’s catering, we have expert mixologists who can bring this feeling with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to keep everyone at the party refreshed! We’re thinking bright citrus, fruity, minty with some potential lavender notes. Lemonades are kicky and fun too. You might even consider a wine tasting party, like we talked about in our last post!

2 Mouthwatering Spring Appetizers

You can literally plan an entire catered spring party in Northern Virginia that centers around the Hors D’oeuvres. After a long winter indoors, your guests will enjoy wandering around, possibly outside at one of the wonderful Northern Virginia venues we can suggest, chatting and nibbling on tasty things. Fresh is the name of the game for spring appetizers too: fruits, veggies, spicy notes and more will keep everyone happy. Ask us about the best spring selections!

With local farmer’s markets starting to peek out from under winter, we’re excited. Our chefs and men u planners are out there looking for the yummiest locally-produced foods to create delicious classic and new entrees to thrill your spring party guests. Shirley’s Catering works with you on special recipes, dietary needs and more so that we can produce the most delicious, satisfying entrees for your spring party!

4. Spring Party Desserts

Spring is so sweet after a long winter. Your catered spring party should feature sweet, natural desserts to delight your guests. In fact, you might even consider skipping straight to the dessert first with one of our dessert station parties! This gives your guests the option to try what they like while mingling.
