Cater-Hater

Who doesn’t love to entertain??

Now you can do it right with some help from today’s featured blogger Carlo from Cater-Hater. She’s a caterer sharing her tips!

My DNA is party geek hard-wired, for sure. I love EVERYTHING about catering and planning parties, to the point that, if I could afford to, I’d never charge a single dime — creating parties for everyone who asks me, for free. I specialize in catering large (1000+) luxury events and think that everyone should have the opportunity to have at least one luxe catered party in their honor during their lifetime. But since that’s not always possible, I created Cater-Hater… a place to receive private party, wedding, and corporate special event ideas and inspiration.

I can see something party-related in anything, including things that are so far removed from parties that it’s not even funny. I told you I was a party geek. Please pray for me!

  1. Sounds like you might have some great tips! Happy SITS day!
    Djrelat7 recently posted..Our hardships are our lessons to share with others

    • I try… to have and share great tips. The thing is some of my favorite and most creative tips are buried because I’ve been writing for almost four years. So to find some where I list endless ideas is to go through the archives. Or, better still… use Google search on the sidebar that is set up to search my site/blog.

      Thank you for stopping by today! I know how life is, how busy things can get; that can cause us to lose time. So when you share some of yours with me (time), it means a lot!
      Thank you for making my SITS Day a little bit brighter!
      Enjoy your evening…

  2. So excited to visit your site!
    Andrea recently posted..12 Skills Every Woman Should Master

    • Andrea, I’m excited for you to visit my site too. It’s different, in a way. I love to write (can you tell?), so I have several extremely descriptive posts that “explain” all the various things that I envision for parties (some of the stuff I have shared doesn’t even exist). But if you like parties, and are looking for something different, there’s a chance that I’ve come up with something and that you’ll find it there.

      The main thing I want to convey is that I appreciate that you’ve taken the time “to come see me”. The whole world is busy, so I truly “get” just how special it is; for the SITS community of women bloggers to stop by and show their support… you included, of course! And for that, I thank you!
      Have a great night!

    Emily recently posted..Butternut Squash Soup

    • Hi Emily! What a special, special, SPECIAL day today has been. Wow! Talk about “feelin’ the love”… there were times when it almost felt overwhelming! But it was great… because I got to me you and so many other fantastic females! Girls RULE!

      With much appreciation, I am tickled (pink) that you found some time in your busy day to stop by and say, “Hi!”. Each and every SITS Girl member who did so truly made my day today, BIG TIME! There’s nothing like making new friends and getting a strong sense of support at the same time.

      Blessings to you…

  5. I need a party! Off to visit…
    Jean Lynd recently posted..Cheek Stain? Is it for you?

  6. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I never considered myself to be very brave… but I have had some interesting things I’ve encountered. It’s mostly been “movie star”/celebrity related kind of stuff. Not so much horror stories or anything.

    I’ve been blessed to encounter a lot of interesting people, famous and non-famous. Being a people person, that gave me a big charge! But at the end of the day, it’s always been about the party or special event. I think everyone’s a star… it’s just that the rest of the world doesn’t know it yet!

    You guys made me feel as important as anyone could ever feel today…
    and for that, I am grateful!

    Thanks again! And enjoy your evening…

  7. I catered appetizers for 16 people recently and that was enough to prove to me that catering was probably not my gig – thought it all turned out well. I do love the menu planning though! Can’t wait to see what her secrets are!
    Beth (OMG! Yummy) recently posted..Melissa Clark’s Maple Blueberry Tea Cake or was that Pan-Cake?

    • Hi Beth,

      You go with your baaaad self! That’s fantastic… about your hors d’oeuvres party that you had for 16 guests recently. How cool is that? Sounds like everything went really well for you, which is awesome. But tell me, it was a lot of work, now wasn’t it? I tell ya, you can think that you’re getting away with planning a little soiree for 16 and that it will be easy, and ‘lo and behold if it doesn’t add up to take up a whole lot of your time. It’s like, 16 can feel like 60!
      Thanks for sharing that with me!

      But most importantly… thank you for stopping by Cater-Hater. It’s been nice to eMeet you and I look forward to catching up with you here on the SITS site again!

      Blessings to you…

  8. Happy SITS day. I love to entertain and get the house ready for a nice party or get together and when it comes to the food I often have to reign myself in and not go overboard…
    Susi recently posted..Cupcake Bosses {Wordless Wednesday}

    • Hi Suzi! It’s super nice to eMeet you and I really appreciate that you stopped by! You sound like what I call a true “party maven”, because I can feel the love that you have for parties and entertaining just oozing out of the comment that you wrote here on the SITS Girls site! We’d be completely and downright dangerous together, I can just tell…

      But listen, thank you for dropping by! I appreciate it, immensely!

      Have a wonderful rest of the night…

    Alicia recently posted..Things I Know about my blogging practices

    • Alicia… well, it’s almost over — I think. Yes, according to my watch it IS over. Time for a new SITS Girl! And I wish the up and coming SITS Girl recipients well, and some stamina too (because it sure can get busy around here!)

      What a blessing it was… meeting you and everyone else who stopped by. What is so awesome about the SITS site is, you do get the chance to eMeet women you probably never would have met before. And ya gotta love that!

      So I thank you, profusely, from the bottom of my heart for participating in wishing me a Happy SITS Day! What a blessing you’ve been to me… I cannot thank you enough!
      Thanks Alicia!

  10. Yay, happy Sits Day =)

    • Jamie… thank you for stopping by to wish me a Happy SITS Day! I had a blast… and appreciate every single SITStah who blessed me today by sending me kudos!

      You totally ROCK… because you didn’t have to stop by and you did. So for that I am truly grateful.
      Have a great upcoming weekend and I hope that you had fun reading the eBook that I created for you guys, “Twenty-Five SITS Girls Killer Wicked-Cool Party Moves”. If you didn’t get a copy, it’s on my “Home” page on Cater-Hater.

    Miss Sara recently posted..Why is #DVAM Important to You?

  12. Hi Miss Sara! You’ve got that 100% right… I do love and find tons and bunches of joy in creating parties! It’s not even what I would call “work”. It’s strictly pleasure.

    Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it, like you wouldn’t believe!
    Time to crown another SITS Girl SITS Day Queen…
    and may she reign and receive as much support as I did!

    Blessings to you!

    • I can TOTALLY relate. If you only knew the number of times I did the same thing! It’s nuts! The phone rings or I get distracted some other way and there I go — I forget to get back over here and “roll call”! You are soooo NOT alone. I’m “late” or the last one a lot of times. I thought I held the title for being the #1 “Queen of Day Behind on SITS”!

      It doesn’t matter, as long as we check in. The way I look at it is: I appreciate that anybody even took the time to stop by in the first place. We’re all so busy trying to keep up with everything these days! So thank you. I mean it.

      Thanks!

  14. Happy SITS Day!
    Kristyn recently posted..Book Club Friday

    • Thank you, Kristyn. What a day it was… talk about fun! I suffered Disqus.com comment failure to a degree, so things started off kind of goofy. But it ended working out okay. It sure was nice of everyone to stop by! That rocked my world in a BIG WAY. Even my “ex” stopped by the SITS site and wrote a congratulatory comment! He’s such a trip (in a good way)! So my “love cup” ran-ith over!

      Thank you for wishing me SITS Day love too!

    Ashley Ellis recently posted..Funny, Funny Boy

    • Ho cool is that? Let me tell you something, you could easily TEACH ME a thing or two because I am not known as being the best baker, that’s for sure!

      If ever you’d like to feature a recipe on Cater-Hater, get in touch, ya hear? I’m open to sharing and you’re a baker, I’m not — so I suspect that my readers would eat up (LOVE) one of your wonderful recipes!

      Have a great weekend… and thanks for stopping by!

  20. Love your helpful tips — I can’t wait to share your site with my mom who loves to host. Your post on how to be a good guest needs to be attached to every evite. I get so annoyed when people arrive too early or too late!!
    Erin S. recently posted..Overheard from the Baby Monitor: Kicked to the Curb

    • Erin, don’t I understand; about the guest too early or too late thing! Years ago I had a party and this guy that I knew stopped by something like 3 or 4 hours BEFORE the party started. I don’t know why I didn’t tell him to leave… he was so annoying and he knew it. Can you believe it… he did that on purpose. I guess he was trying to throw me off. I wasn’t even in the “party industry” yet, but thankfully I didn’t miss a beat. All I could think was… the nerve of some people!

      Thanks for popping by! I hope your mom finds some useful information on Cater-Hater!
      Thanks again!

    Simplicity Interrupted recently posted..liebster award – smile, nod & blog.

  23. Thanks for the compliment. It’s funny, when I began writing Cater-Hater, I had no idea what direction it was going. All I knew was, I loved parties and I wanted to write about my love of them too. I still feel like I’m fleshing my way through figuring out exactly where I’m headed with it. But, one things for sure… I love to share my ideas and genuinely love posting new material as often as I can.

    Thank you for coming by to visit!

  24. I’m praying for you – for you to come over to my house and throw me a party! ;-) Hope you had a wonderful SITS Day, Carlo! Cannot wait to see all the insider tips you can give us on party throwing! Have a great week!
