Make it personal without making it generic
Protect one specific host priority, such as sitting for the first coffee or greeting every guest at the door.
Presentation
Fold the corrected timeline beneath a small breakfast tray with three tags marked day before, morning, and serve.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Uses the actual refrigerator, oven, counter, and serving area at half scale.
- Skill
- Use tested recipes and current food-safety guidance for cooling, refrigeration, reheating, and holding.
- Maintenance
- Keep the corrected timeline and quantity notes with the final menu; return borrowed containers.
- Accessibility
- Assign lifting, chopping, and carrying to appropriate helpers and build seated rest into the final sequence.
- Sustainability
- Test at half scale, plan the rehearsal food as meals, and cut any item that creates disproportionate waste.
- Timing
- Hold the rehearsal at least one week before the event, on the same approximate time of day.
What to investigate
