Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Agree the spot with the venue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
