## Catering Themes for Gen Zers

The members of Generation Z, which includes anyone born later than the mid-1990’s, like to get exactly what they want. Gen Zers are also heavily into social media – they really don’t remember life without the internet.

If you’re planning an event for Gen Zers, consider one of these theme ideas:

-
Cooking live: Design the catered event around Chef Action Stations, giving guests the perfect backdrop for photos and videos.

-
Fast food party: Create a heathy, gourmet catering menu that mimics fast food and is served up in a similar style.

## Catering Themes for Millennials

Millennials, or people born between the late-1970’s and the mid-1990’s, are ambitious and tech-savvy. They love being praised for their accomplishments, yet they place a high value on balancing work with fun.

If your event is for Millennials, one of these themes is sure to be a hit:

-
Play ball: Choose an event catering menu with upscale ballpark offerings, and plug up some interactive sports games to foster competition.

Pajama party breakfast: Go with a catering options based on the much-loved morning meal, and ask everyone to wear their sleep gear.

## Catering Themes for Gen Xers

The individuals born during the Generation X years, or between the mid-1960’s to the late-1970’s, embrace diversity and culture. Gen Xers like options, and they prefer making their own decisions whenever possible.
