Inexpensive ideas for entertaining?!
My hubby and I are moving to a new town!. Since we will be on a stricter budget there I was wondering if anyone has some good tips on how to entertain on a budget!. We are in our mid 20's and DON'T DRINK!. We'll obviously need to make new friends and would like to entertain out of our home!. any tips or advice would be helpful! Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are so many things you can make inexpensively and so good! I entertain 20-25 people twice a month in my home and some times more!. Pasta, salad and bread is always good!. Sometimes I make a huge pot of soup and have a good crusty bread!. Potato and broccoli-cheese are the favorites!. One of the most popular dinners was an all breakfast foods meal!. I made French toast, scrambled eggs w/cheese and sausage and bacon!. A salad bar set-up or a baked potato bar is fun and inexpensive too!.Chicken leg quarters are very cheap and are great on the grill!. If you serve your food in a beautiful way,anything can be suitable for entertaining!. A few nice platters, bowls and dessert cups will make a beautiful presentation!. It really does make a big difference and set the mood for the evening!. Don't feel like you have to spend a lot of money to make a great meal!. Read lots of recipes and have fun!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
lol a real good way to meet new people is to just cruise around a neighborhood around u and just look for a party that looks like it has very little attention towards the guests coming in!.!.!.and just walk in!.!.people tend to not even ask questions especially if u come as a couple because u guys can bounce ideas and stuff off of each otherWww@FoodAQ@Com
have a pot-luck type welcoming party at your new place (or a neighbor's)!.
check out the nature in the area (& hike, sight-see, have a picnic in the woods, etc!.)
a lot of places have discounted activities (like bowling at midnight, etc!.) that are great ways to meet people & save some money while you're at it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depending on where you're moving I'd do a BBQ!. It's cheap to BBQ hotdogs and Hamburgers!.!.!.and pasta and potato salad are also very cheap and easy so make in big quantities!. I know you don't drink but I would fill a cooler with some beer for your guests :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
