Elegant Parties – Planning a Brunch or Luncheon? We’ll set the record straight – What is a brunch? What is a luncheon?
This is a cross between an Elegant Coffee or Afternoon Tea. The food served is more substantial and you’ve got a wider choice of places to host a brunch. You can do it from home, in your garden, on your patio, by the pool, or go to a restaurant, a pancake parlor, a sea side cafe, and of course, hotels.
The word “brunch” originates a combination of breakfast and lunch. It usually starts at 1030-11 to about 2pm. Usually you will serve a big plate of hot food with eggs, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, french toast. Followed by fruit, cakes, coffee or tea.
It is perfect for a relaxed weekend morning and afternoon.
Hosting A Brunch
What You’ll Need
- Some egg choices – sunny side up, scrambled, omelet etc.
- Some meat choices – sausages, bacon, ham etc

You can host a brunch at a restaurant, just call up and ask for the best tables to be reserved.
What To Wear To Brunch
If the brunch is held in honor of a special guest, call your host to ask for the dress code.
Brunch can be very casual to dressy.
If the brunch is held in a restaurant your dress code depends on restaurant.
Sometimes the dress code for brunch depends on the style of your host. Try to match her.
It’s best to go for a smart casual day time outfit. See Basic Wardrobe Guide
or Day Time Dressing on Dress Etiquette.
