Marked by new school supplies, books, and information packets, our Back-to-School Night was a success. Besides gaining new information, meeting the teacher(s), and dropping off our supplies, the participants enjoyed a time of fellowship.

The refreshments consisted of sweet breads and a beverage station. The loaves of bread were sliced and placed on individual platters with name cards identifying the type of bread. The center table was simply decorated with a flower bouquet center piece. A separate table with gluten-free and sugar-free options was set to the side of the hallway.

By keeping the food choices simple, all participants enjoyed a time of meeting and greeting new and existing friends. This arrangement worked beautifully for a back-to-school night. I would also consider serving sweet breads for a reception, after-dinner meeting, and part of a brunch menu. In planning events, you can have a successful activity by keeping it simple.

Question: What is your favorite sweet bread? Please add your answer to the comments.
