Alright Ladies... I need your help! :)

My best friend is turning 21 in 2 weeks. Her sister is planning the majority of it. I'm in charge of appetizers before we go out to the club. We are starting at 10:30pm and I'm wondering what kind of appetizers to make. I know I want to make some kind of wrap, but need a good recipe. I asked her sister what kind of apps she wanted me to make and she said, "Something that will soak up the alcohol." :) So... I need some ideas! There will be about 10 girls all together and we will be at my house until midnight. 

TIA! :)

  • Holy Cow! You can tell you are a young bunch....starting at 10:30?! I don't even think I could stay awake that late some nights let alone get started that late! ;) (and for the record, no judgment, just really in awe!)

    I would do a dip with bread for sure, like a bread bowl with spinach dip or some of the little pigs in a blanket. I'm thinking bread and crackers to "soak up the alcohol".....have fun!

  • Stuffed red potatoes. Here's a recipe. A similar and delicious alternative is to stuff the potatoes with ground and browned  Italian sausage, a little bit of shredded mozzarella and chives.
  • Taco dip is another idea. I love that (could actually go for that right now..mmm.).
  • We're starting at 10:30 because she doesn't turn 21 until midnight! :) And yes... it will be a looooonnnggg night. :)

    Oh, that makes me feel better! (and not quite as old) ;)

  • What about making a couple of gourmet pizzas and cutting them into bite sized pieces?  I did this for a bachelorette party once (same kind of thing... food before we went out) and it worked well.  I'd do BBQ chicken, maybe one with some veggies and goat cheese.  Plus if they don't all get eaten you already have late night snacks when you get back from the bar! :)
  • I would do an antipasto platter....have a big tray of assorted meats, cheeses,  grapes, marinated olives or stuffed olives, marinated artichokes/red peppers, etc.  Also have some good crusty bread and olive oil (with seasonings or without) for dipping...SO good!
  • totally a lurker here but just waned to make sure that in your area they allow people to drink at midnight. I'm only asking because in Texas you can't drink at midnight on a friday night if your birthday is on Saturday because legally that is still going under Friday nights sales. You can of course always get around this but just a heads up.
  • I'm pretty sure we'll be okay. I've heard of people in our area going out at midnight. Thanks for the tip though!
