30th Birthday Party- food ideas
I am hostin a 30th birthday party for my husband and his twin sister in 3 weeks. We are having it at our country club for about 100 people. Dacning, DJ, drinks, karaoke etc. My question is what should I do about food? Like I said about 100 people, and it will be from 8-12 so Im assuming people will have already eaten dinner. How much food and what types should I get. WHen you go to a cocktail party do you expect to eat a lot? We meet with the caterer later today and I need to give them an idea of what we want.

Re: 30th Birthday Party- food ideas
When people are drinking, you definitely want food to absorb the alcohol.
The caterer will tell you quantities, but I'd be sure to build a starchy menu. Chips & hot spinach dip, bruschetta, veggies & dip for the girls (people like to feel like they're still watching what they eat), mushroom pinwheels, etc. I wouldn't do more than 2 sweets - people really don't like sweets when they're drinking. Maybe brownie and cheesecake bites.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Hi! Def' agree with PP (Mrs. Tarheels) re: starchy foods etc. Also... this is a time when you can feature one of their favorite foods. ie. I LOVE shrimp cocktail, DH is Italian and likes Pizzettas, Clams Cassino etc.
Or do a sig drink for your SIL... just a thought. Have fun!
