Decorate your table in the colors of the Greek flag - blue and white. Either purchase table linens that have blue and white stripes, or top a bright white cloth with an azure runner.
Purchase clear votive candle holders and paint them with metallic gold stripes around the base. Fill with white candles and create a circle of them in the center of your table
Place a low vase of white roses in the center of the votive circle.
Create a placecard for each guest by writing their names with gold glitter glue on clean, white clam shells.
Roll white linen napkins into a tight cigar shape and place inside a gold colored napkin ring.
Play traditional Greek music in the background. Here is a website: http://www.greekshops.com/Greek_Music/Gr...
For food, try these:
olives
feta cheese chunks
hummus dip
Greek Eggplant Dip
pita bread wedges
stuffed grape leaves
1 tomato cut into wedges
8-10 small new potatoes (boiled, steamed, or zapped in the microwave)
1-2 quartered hard-boiled eggs
a sliced cucumber
1 can of sardines or anchovies (drained) (or Greek sardines with oregano, if you can find them)
Place on a large plate or platter, arranging them so the colors are mixed
Have a good party!
The first answer is great. Here are some more food suggestions: Moussaka (casserole), Keftdes (meatballs), Faki (lentil soup), Rizogalo (rice pudding).
Greek flags hung everywhere are good. Go to a travel agent and get posters of Greece.
Decorate tables w/ breadsticks in glasses. They can be eaten and look good. Put grapes around the base, and some greenery.
For food:
Stuffed grape leaves
stuffed cabbage
roast lamb
spanokopita (spinach tarts)
baba ghanoush
moussaka
hummus w/ pita
baklava
ashta
play some greek music in the backround go to http://www.greecefoods.com/ for good greek recipies.
Some of the best foods for a party are Greek. Greek salad a must, spinache pie, baklava, and the Greek form of baked ziti (can't remember what they call it).
Blue and white, lots of candles, olive branch head pieces,
Greek flags!
