In French, "festinas" means "feasted" (I believe). There is a registered U.S. trademark for "Festina" covering watches and leather goods and soft drinks. So "Festina" might also be considered as you are offering a gourmet food and party service (not a product which might be confused with the registered mark). Pls. do your own TM search. The Domain Name "Festinas.com" is available whereas Festina.com is not.

Didn't I read about just this sort of enterprise in the comics pages? What does Blondie call her catering business? Any inspiration to be garnered there? Of the various profferings thus far, "All but the Guests" has the most appeal...

Me! Gee flipwould it only took ya 6 years to get here... amazing!! Glad you made the migration. I've got no new suggestions for you (sorry) but if we're voting, I'm lending my support for "Everything but the guests" and "Eats de resistance". Well done you fantastically creative people out there. I'm going back to the creative dunce corner... I'm at work, and it just doesn't inspire me to think creatively!

Your name really has to fit the people you are trying to attract. For example, you will attract a different type of client being called “Catering Connoisseurs - For your dining pleasure” rather than “Meals on Wheels - We set you up right.” Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Guess who's coming to dinner? #61622 03/19/02 02:43 AM Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 688 A Angel addict Angel addict A Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 688 rather than “Meals on Wheels - We set you up right.” Just watch a term such as “Meals on Wheels”. That term is specifically for home delivered meals programs and is used throughout the world. It is a non-copyrighted term though. FWIW, I am a manager in a Meals on Wheels program.

Other professionals should also recognize the pun. If you were opening up in Vail, I would recommend "Festivail". Good luck with the biz.

We'll also do mini cooking classes while preparing the meal, if desired. Watch and wait? Watch and weight? Geddit? Everything but the kitchen sink? Cornucopian cuisine? Bacchanalia? Four seasons food? Have I won that meal yet?
