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 parlour, 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

• Some egg choices - sunny side up, scrambled, omelet etc.
• Some meat choices - sausages, bacon, ham etc
• A plate of fruit
• Two bread choices - sourdough, wheat, muffins
• A variety of coffee and tea and sweeteners
• Juice and Water.

  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 honour 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 dresscode depends on restaurant.

  Sometimes the dresscode 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.
