Stock up

People can get irritable and impatient towards the brink of breaking the fast and you want to make sure that everything is ready without a fuss. When doing home décor online shopping, look out for crockery and decorative bowls and plates that you can serve the food in.

Entertainment

You can have game sessions with your family, friends and all the other guests present thereby placing some board games, carom board or even simply gather and play charades. This is a good way to unwind after a long day of fasting and just having a good time.

Serve fruits, salads and starters

You can break the fast with a date or by eating a pinch of salt. Post that you can start off by serving some freshly cut fruits, salads and starters that are light on the stomach and easy to eat and serve. Eating something heavy at the very beginning might fill up your stomach temporarily.

Follow it by main course and the desserts

It is pretty evident that the next step has to be serving the main course that you have prepared for the guests. Make it a self-service set up so that none of the food goes in waste and everyone can get the kind of food they want.

Tea and Coffee
