Party food ideas?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm catering/hosting a party for my son and I need some help with my menu. Hoping someone on here can help me fill in the holes. Most of this stuff needs to be prepared/cooked ahead so I can enjoy my time with him during the ceremony. I'm looking for hearty appetizers (ceremony at 4 p.m.) and then a large dessert table. What am I missing? The reception will be for approx 100 people.
Bacon wrapped shrimp (these are a must.....they are his favorite)
Little smokies/pigs in a blanket
Some kind of meatballs (either pre-made tomato sauce sliders or swedish style meatballs)
(I need some kind of chicken recipe)
and maybe some kind of cold wraps? Does anyone have a good recipe for wraps? I don't eat any kind of mayonnaise or salad dressing, but I'm not opposed to making them without trying them.....if someone has a good recipe to share
Also, veggie trays with dip.
My son is requesting perogies (would you think these are weird to have?)
Do I need to have some cold items? If so, what?
Then I'm having a huge cupcake tower (tower made at home) with the following:
Chocolate/peanut butter
vanilla/buttercream
red velvet
carrot
and maybe one other kind of homemade cupcake.
I'm also making mini-cheesecakes and homemade gourmet brownies.
It feels like I'm missing something important, but what. Any suggestions? Have any appetizer recipes you would like to share? Any ideas for cutting this budget buster down for me? I don't want to skimp, as this will be an evening "meal" for most everyone. Am I overdoing it?
Thanks for looking!
