Presentation Pointers;
1. Have serving platters washed and ready for each of your guests' dishes. You want to make their dish feel like part of the party!
2. Make sure everyone is on the same page ahead of time. Remember to assign different categories to each guest so that there aren't too many desserts, appetizers, or what have you.
3. Provide take home containers for your guests to take home leftovers, or have them use the containers they brought. Letting them bring some of the food home will reward them for bringing something.
Extra note: If you are bringing a dish to a potluck, use a casserole dish or a Tupperware container to transport your dish. Make sure it's sealed tight and won't be a mess when you get to your destination.
