As a submissive homemaker in a female-led home, one of my absolute favorite things to do is host for my wife and her girlfriends. It gives me the chance to serve my wife, put her on a pedestal in front of her friends, and demonstrate our relationship. Although unsaid, the implication that I am hosting because my wife is in charge is clear. They might not know exactly what our relationship is like in private, but the girls know that I’m serving them because I am submissive to my wife, which makes the whole experience delightfully humiliating and fun for everyone.
Brunch is a relaxed way for people to get together while preserving a large part of their day and evening. While it can be somewhat decadent, it requires less preparation than a formal dinner or luncheon. In this article, we will cover everything from planning and menu selection to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Though the head of your home will be making these decisions, you can walk her through them ensuring you have all the information you need to prepare a brunch for which she can be proud. When hosting any event, the first step is deciding who to invite or, more specifically, how many people to include. The size of her guest list will determine how many seats and food you will need, which is a major factor when budgeting. Your brunch can be as intimate or as welcoming as you’d like. My wife typically prefers to host small gatherings of her six or so best friends.
Next, she must choose the ideal date and time. Brunches are typically hosted between late morning and early afternoon on weekends or special occasions. Consider the availability and preferences of her guests when choosing the best time. We like to schedule events well in advance. My wife’s brunch is a regular occurrence everyone looks forward to. For one-off events, send out invitations. Depending on her preference, you can use traditional invitations, electronic invites or even a simple group message to inform her guests about the brunch. In the case of our standing brunch, the group is on a shared calendar invite. Include essential details like the date, time, location, and any special requests, such as dietary restrictions or potluck contributions.
Choosing a theme or style can help spice it up or take your event to the next level. Ask her what kind of brunch she would prefer, such as a garden party, beach-inspired, or a rustic farmhouse get-together. Picking a theme will help guide your menu and decorations, creating a cohesive and visually appealing atmosphere. This will go a long way toward impressing her friends.
Next, have her choose the location; At home or at a venue? Outside or indoors? In the kitchen or dining room? When weather permits, hosting a brunch outdoors can be a great way to enjoy the season. However, think about her guests, the food you’re planning on serving, and what kind of brunch you’re trying to put on; these considerations can affect your choice of venue.
Planning a diverse menu is among the most critical steps when hosting a brunch. Offering a variety of dishes to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences gives you the best chance of satisfying all the guests. Depending on how small or large you want the even to be, your budget and desired level of effort, there are many popular, customizable options for breakfast; Breakfast staples, such as pastries, cereals, and yogurt, as well as heartier options like egg dishes, waffles, pancakes, and a selection of fresh fruits. Any combination of these foods makes a suitable menu- it’s really up to her, your budget and her guests’ dietary restrictions. Inquire about any allergies her guests may have and try to accommodate them. Consider offering vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the culinary delights you’ve prepared. Be sure to provide a selection of beverages such as coffee, tea, juices, and infused water. Common alcoholic options include mimosas and Bloody Marys.
Decorate thoughtfully. Selecting appropriate decorations that align with your chosen theme will enhance the ambiance. Consider using fresh flowers, table linens, stylish tableware, and personalized place settings to create an inviting and elegant setting. Music can liven the atmosphere, but be sure it fits with the vibe she is going for. Depending on the size of your gathering, decide whether you want a casual, buffet-style brunch or a seated affair. Ensure there is ample seating for her guests, and arrange the tables and chairs to encourage socializing and conversation. Arrange the food on a designated table or buffet area, ensuring everything is well-presented and easily accessible.
Be sure to prepare in advance. To minimize stress on the day of the brunch, prepare as much as possible in advance. Pre-cook dishes, set the table, arrange decorations, and be sure you have all the necessary serving utensils, plates, and glassware.
When the brunch begins, so does your time to shine. Have drinks and appetizers ready when her guests arrive. Allow her to greet guests as you see to their needs. Take coats, make any final preparations and begin serving drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Encourage guests to serve themselves and enjoy the culinary delights you’ve prepared. Consider serving certain dishes fresh from the oven to add a bit of warmth and aroma. If she prefers, consider making meals to order. I often make eggs and omelets to her guests’ preferences. This adds a personal touch for them and an extra degree of servitude for me.
Once the girls have been served and I’ve made sure that everyone is satisfied, I step away just to be out of sight. I listen for any complaints so that I can step in, and when my wife feels like showing off, she will use a service bell that we keep at the table. The sight of her friends whispering and giggling when I come quickly to the bell is wonderfully embarrassing for me. They get a glimpse at how well she has me trained to pamper her, and she gets the satisfaction of showing off my devotion.
Hosting a brunch is a great way to get started if you’re new to hosting, as it gives you a chance to practice your planning, decorating, cooking, and serving a limited, more relaxed event. It is an opportunity to showcase your homemaking skills, creativity, and hospitality while serving the head of your home and her friends.
