However, having thrown all these parties before, I knew not to rely on my guests to provide everything.<\/p>\n<p>I shopped for all the non-perishables the prior weekend and the perishables the few days prior to the event.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image2522\" src=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/miracleberrypartylist.png\" alt=\"List of Miracle Berry Party Supplies\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The following is a list of the foods that I purchased, had on hand, prepared and brought by guests.

I used bread and store brand nilla cookies to dip into sour cream, lemon juice, soft cheeses, etc.  People often forgot to use the plates and forks I provided.<\/p>\n<p>Another tip that I seem to forget every time that I host an event&#8230;is to start party preparation early!  I was barely quarter finished with the preparation by the time that people started arriving (almost an hour late) that the presentation was not ideal and potentially confusing.  Prepare early!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to get for a miracle berry party? Beyond the miracle berries or miracle tablets, the most important part is the food.
