3. Plan a Balanced, Brunch-Worthy Menu
The key to a great brunch is the food! Offer a mix of sweet and savory items so there’s something for everyone. Here are some ideas:
- Sweet Options: Mini waffles with toppings, yogurt parfaits, fresh fruit, and pastries.
- Savory Options: Avocado toast bar, mini quiches or frittatas, and roasted breakfast potatoes.
⭐️ Pro Tip: Go for dishes that can be prepared ahead of time so you can enjoy the brunch without being stuck in the kitchen.
4. Add Fun, Brunch-Style Games
Games make any gathering more memorable! For a Soberish Brunch, try low-key games that are easy to play while mingling. Here are a couple of fun options:
- Brunch Bingo: Make bingo cards with brunch-themed items like “mentions mimosas,” “takes a selfie with food,” or “talks about last night’s sleep.” First person to get five in a row wins a little prize!
- Two Truths and a Lie: A classic icebreaker that’s always a hit.
5. Curate a Chill Playlist with “Pass the Playlist”
Music sets the tone for a relaxed and fun brunch atmosphere, and creating a collaborative playlist adds a fun twist! Start with a few mellow songs, then pass the phone around the group, allowing each guest to add a song of their choice. This “Pass the Playlist” game is a great way to get everyone involved and discover each other’s favorite tunes.
⭐️ Pro Tip: Use a music streaming app with a collaborative playlist feature so everyone can add songs in real time.
6. Set Up Cozy, Instagrammable Seating
Make your brunch area cozy and Instagrammable! Use comfy pillows, blankets, and table settings that match your theme. A few simple touches like fresh flowers, candles, and a cute sign can turn any space into the perfect brunch spot.
⭐️ Pro Tip: If you’re short on seating, consider a picnic-style setup on the floor with lots of cushions around a low table.
7. Send Guests Home with a Fun Favor
End the brunch on a sweet note by giving everyone a small favor to take home. It could be something simple like mini jars of honey, a bag of coffee beans, or a little bottle of sweet potato syrup to remind them of the day.
