What else should I add to New Years Eve Party?

vjcjenn1

So far this is what I'm having:

We're featuring 6 different cheeses (good cheese) that we picked out from Wegman's with various accompaniements like nuts, fruit, dried fruit, olives, crackers, breads, pita.

Veggie tray with Hummus

Steamed Shrimp

Shrimp Pizza (that someone else is bringing, I know it's to similar to steamed shrimp but steamed shrimp is a must with our crowd)

Baked Brie (my mom bought it just for the party wanting to add to my cheese board)

Nacho Bar

Pretzels

Some guy is bringing and shucking oysters

Here's what I thinking of adding: A hot dip (like buffalo chicken or spinach/artichoke) or homemade chicken tenders with different dips.

I know I need some desserts, I have various mixes that I can make

Desserts=black bottoms, oreo truffles, gingerbread dip with gingersnaps, italian cookies

My sister is bringing buffalo chicken dip

Please add some non-cheese things! lol  I love cheese as much as the next girl, but you have a cheese plate, baked brie, nachos, and a pizza that probably has cheese on it too lol.

I'm just having a lazy day at home, so while I go fold this load of laundry, I'll think of non-cheese things for you and come back to post.

Good God good point...maybe the chicken tenders then...if designing the menu myself I wouldn't have the brie or shrimp pizza but it's hard to say no to others...but then all my desserts are cheese based too...how did I do that?

The nacho bar seems very, very out of place to me.

agreed, my husband insists on having nacho cheese and tortilla chips at every party so this is my attempt at including it...

 Last year we had a "mashed potato bar" and at various parties we do a "something" bar so it's kind of fitting....

I have to agree, my menu isn't awesome, but posting it and trying to figure it out has been helpful

If you're hosting the party I always like to send my guests home with a little treat for the next morning. (usually they don't make the car ride home...so I hear!)

Breakfast in a Box  sure to be hit with your friends/family

we actually kept the nacho bar downstairs near the bar area so to me it was actually a nice touch having food on both floors with the "fun" food downstairs
