What Size Fruit Assortment Is Right For Your Celebration?

Planning your next party or holiday celebration? You’ve made an intelligent choice in deciding to include plenty of fresh citrus fruit in your presentation. Fresh citrus fruit includes an enticing host of important minerals and vitamins in each bite of their tangy and rewarding flavors, making them healthy as well as delicious. But how much fruit is the right amount for your event? The following tips can help you make the right purchase, so you spend the least while getting the most.

Consider Your Type of Event

The amount of fruit to order depends a great deal on the type of event and the tone of your celebration. For example, an office holiday party should have enough fruit to serve the people who’ll attend, but not so much that you have to throw a lot of the fresh citrus fruit out afterwards.

If you order an assorted gift basket, which contains many different kinds of fresh citrus and other kinds of fruit, you’ll be able to accommodate a wide variety of tastes without having to order multiple baskets. This will save money, but also let each guest have their own pick of the fresh fruit available.

Consider What Else Will Be Served

If your celebration is a heavy formal dinner, you’ll want to include a citrus fruit assortment as a centerpiece or side offering along with salads and other more light but filling foods. Many citrus fruits are available in gift basket towers, which make perfect centerpieces for dining tables and in hallways and entrances. The fruit is real and delicious, and ordered and arranged in such a way as to make a charming and pitch-perfect visual treat for guests. These towers combine both taste and visual appeal, so your gift basket for the holidays serves a dual purpose.

Consider Delivery Times and Fruit Seasons

Remember that fruit has differing seasons, meaning some kinds of fruit are available more plentifully during some months of the year than others. Also, delivery time will play a factor, for while assorted gift baskets and fruit baskets are prepared and shipped with the utmost consideration of freshness, you should still plan on several days for your gift basket to arrive.
As a final consideration, look carefully at the types of motifs presented by your gift basket boutique. There’s probably one to fit your party’s theme, no matter what the occasion.
