Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
