Birthday is a favorite from childhood, a long-awaited holiday. Many people prefer to celebrate it in a close family circle. Not so often there is an opportunity to get together, heartily congratulate a birthday girl or a hero of the day, have a drink, a snack.

Better to discuss and plan the menu in advance festive table for your birthday, so as not to spoil your nerves and not throw money away. The exhausted, tired hostess is unlikely to be able to welcome guests, to create a warm and cozy atmosphere of celebration.

How many dishes should I cook?

The answer to this question depends entirely on the number of guests and the generosity of the feast. First courses (hot and cold) are usually not accepted at banquets. However, at a theme party in oriental style exotic soup with big amount spices. And at a traditional Russian feast - fish soup with pies in the cold season and ice okroshka in the heat. but classic menu festive birthday table includes salads, main course and dessert.

By the way, if there are no confectionery lovers in the "adult" company, cake and sweets can be safely excluded from the list, focusing on the main dishes. And, conversely, arrange a sweet feast: buy fruits, ice cream, various cakes for every taste. The main thing is that everyone should like the treat.

It is necessary to calculate in what volumes to cook. It "works" here Golden Rule hospitable hostess: guests should not sit at empty table... Therefore, it is better to let something remain. If most of the dishes are served in portions, like in a restaurant, the probability of miscalculation is reduced to zero.
