DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
