Anyone want to help plan my housewarming party?
Our guest list has grown rather large (around 40 people) and I am know getting worried. I am thinking maybe making it an "open house" with a timeframe will let people know they can stop by whenever they choose. I am thinking after lunch. How long would you list on the invite?
Also I am thinking of making heavy appetizers and small bite desserts for the guests. What are some nice make ahead appies that will be easily refilled throughout the party?
Anything else I should be thinking about? We aren't even unpacked so I have at least a month to plan. Thank you in advance for the advice!
Re: Anyone want to help plan my housewarming party?
I'm in the midst of planning a house warming (open house) party!
We are doing heavy apps, hot roast beef, sausage and peppers and pulled bbq chicken with rolls as the entree and a decent dessert table.
Here is my list of apps so far:
Nuts (mixed)
Pretzels
Veggie platter w/ dip(s)
Cheese /crackers
Spinach dip
Meatballs (cocktail)
Crab Cheese Ball
Shrimp Cocktail
Bacon dip
Onion Dip
Chips
I had an open house in the evening but in order to keep myself out of the kitchen I set up a "feed yourself" area in the dining room.
We had various deli meats and cheeses with homemade buns, different mustards, etc. Pickle and cheese and cracker trays. Veggies with dip. Punch.
I didn't try to do anything fancy - I save that for events with less people.Also needed to keep it to foods which will last for a few hours safely.

for ours we ended up doing an open house with no time on it and did a pot luck. We requested no gifts. people were able to come an see the house and hang out in the yard. I would do apps and keep it simple.
