Whether on a special occasion or just a regular Sunday afternoon, getting your family and friends together for brunch is a great way to catch up and mingle while enjoying some delicious food. The great thing about brunch is that it can be whatever you want it to be. You can elect to have everyone dress up in their Sunday best or keep it casual. Regardless of how you envision your brunch going, there are a few necessary things that must happen in order for your brunch to be a success. If hosting brunch at your One 51 Place apartment sounds like something you’d like to do, here are a few steps to follow to ensure it goes off without a hitch.

1. Decide on a theme. There are all kinds of breakfast foods, so choosing a theme for your brunch can help you narrow down your menu options.
2. Send out invitations. Depending on how formal you’d like your brunch to be, you may decide to mail out actual invitations or keep it simple by sending a text message. 
3. Plan your menu. Once you know how many guests you’ll be hosting – and the amount of food you’ll need – decide on the dishes you’re going to serve.
4. Make a shopping list. It can be easy to forget something at the grocery store, especially when you are buying ingredients for several dishes. Bringing a list with you can help ensure you don’t forget anything.
5. Prepare your apartment. This can consist of anything from making sure you have enough seating for your guests to cleaning off counter space for the dishes you will serve.
