(Cross-posted to my local Colorado board)
My sister and her BF (now DH) got married a few weeks ago in Vegas - kind of sudden although they have been living together for over a year now so not entirely unexpected I guess.
We are throwing them a wedding celebration when they are in town for Thanksgiving.
It's on the actual day of Thanksgiving (long story - but basically the only time people could come) so we don't need a meal. However, I would like to have some sort of a special appetizer and cocktail and I need ideas please!
Theme ideas:
Rock (her new last name)
Vegas wedding
NYC (where they live)
beach wedding (what they will do next year for family to attend)
Thanks for any appetizer/cocktail ideas you have!
Re: XP from local: cocktail/appetizer for wedding celebration
How about Champagne with raspberries in each glass? It's very wedding-y and it won't compete with the flavor of the foods.
As far as appetizers go, how about little shrimp displayed in a nice way like in little shot glasses with cocktail sauce? Hmmm, I'm drawing a blank for wedding/celebratory appetizers.
Hope this helps!
