Reserve time at the end of the showing and a special place for socializing and snacks. In providing a separate area for gathering, the potential for dropping crumbs or spilling drinks on the jewelry is minimized.
Choose a menu with food that is easy to prepare. Jewelry parties should be fun, not burdensome. Most guests are satisfied with something to drink and a light snack.
Consider putting regular and decaf coffee and hot or iced tea on the menu at your jewelry party. Include flavored creamers. Hot chocolate is a great option during cold-weather months.
Choose an assortment of Danish, muffins and scones or other pastries for a late-morning or early-afternoon party.
Find fresh fruit in season for a delectable treat. Serve alongside cheese and crackers.
Plan a menu with bagels and an assortment of flavored and low-fat cream cheese.
Make use of limited table space for snacks by creating an edible centerpiece, such as a fruit or vegetable centerpiece. Serve with your favorite fruit or vegetable dip, such as a caramel dip for apple slices or a ranch dip for crunchy veggies.
Get Results From Snack Time
Take advantage of snack time to interact with each guest. Encourage booking a party while offering to assist with snack ideas and setup.
Express appreciation to each guest for attending while socializing around the snack table. Be sure to spend time with visitors to expand your options for future jewelry parties.
Use snack time as an opportunity to announce the winners of any drawings. Give special recognition to winners by asking them to be first in line for snacks.

Bridge Party FoodsIn Feburary 2016 13,

Tiny finger sandwiches are one of the most common foods at bridge parties. These are perfect to use as an entree, because they are mess-free and will allow all of the players to continue playing while eating. A sandwich made from two slices of bread cut into fourths can create four finger sandwiches for your party. Cucumber sandwiches and ham spread sandwiches are two very simple recipes to prepare and make that your guests will enjoy. The sandwiches can be as simple or elaborate as your occasion will be. If you don't want to serve sandwiches at your bridge party, there are other finger food options you can try. Pinwheels, pigs-in-a-blanket, miniature cheeseburgers and crab-stuffed mushrooms are all examples of finger food entrees you might consider.
Simple Snacks
It's important to offer a variety of snack or side dishes for your guests to munch on throughout the bridge party. A traditional snack found at bridge parties is made from a combination of a well-known breakfast cereal and nuts. Bridge mix is also traditional--a variety of nuts and fruits covered in chocolate. Other healthier alternatives to consider are raw vegetables with dip, fresh fruit cut into bite-sized pieces with a yogurt dip, pretzels, toasted pecans and mixed cheeses with crackers.For some of these ideas, a gracious host will provide toothpicks or a similar method for guests to spear their foods, in order to keep food off of fingers so the cards remain tidy.
Beverages
Depending on the weather and time of year, you may choose to serve hot or iced beverages at your bridge party. Hot tea with lemon or cream and sugar is a common beverage choice at these type of social events. Iced options could include flavored ice teas, lemonade or a homemade fruit punch.
Dessert
Cookies are a simple easy to prepare dessert option for a bridge party. However, cookies are not as common as small bite-sized cakes and pastries. Miniature fancy cakes traditionally called petits fours, cupcakes or danishes are all finger food desserts that would be appropriate and that your guests will enjoy.
