Hostess Tips:

  • Offer a variety of premade sandwiches. Cut sandwiches into small sizes so that guests can mix and match, and try a wide variety of flavors. Offer a variety of options: Consider offering a variety of sandwich options, such as vegetarian, gluten-free, or low-carb options to cater to everyone’s tastes.

  • Provide a DIY Sandwich Station. Setting up a sandwich station is a way to ensure each guest gets just the sandwich he or she wants. A sandwich station should include a variety of breads – white, wheat, focaccia, ciabatta, tortillas, and pitas; a variety of meats – roast beef, turkey, ham, or pastrami; a variety of condiments – mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, horseradish sauce; and a variety of add-ons such as tomato, assorted lettuces, thinly sliced onions, pickles, jalapenos, olives, or anything else that tickles your fancy. 
  • Label the ingredients. Make sure to label all ingredients to accommodate for any dietary restrictions or preferences. Use decorative cards or labels to add a festive touch.

  • Incorporate seasonal ingredients. Add a seasonal touch to your sandwiches by incorporating fresh, local produce. Use fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables to create unique flavor combinations.

  • Don’t forget the drinks. Offer a selection of beverages that pair well with sandwiches, such as lemonade, iced tea, or beer. Consider setting up a self-serve beverage station to allow guests to help themselves.
