What is a good finger-food for a Sweet Sixteen?!
My party is in three weeks!. In the next few weeks, I have homecoming, my mom is going away, and my party!. The dinner I am serving is the hardest thing for me to figure out but to me, it is of least importance!.
My party is pink, black, and silver!. It's a masquerade and so far there will be about 14 of us!. I don't want to serve!.!. grease foods such as fried or pizzas!. I want food that can easily be eaten without a big mess!. Most of them will be wearing formal knee-length dresses and I don't want spaghetti sauce on their new dresses!.
My party is very feminine and classy!. I love classy/chic, and any food that is petite and dainty I think I would like!. But in the spring, I am having an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party for fun, so I don't want it resemble a Tea Party menu (lady fingers, petite sandwiches, fruit, etc!.)!.
For appetizer, I am having a vegetable platter and shrimp cocktails!. Both are very light, and I think I want the dinner menu to remain very light for dessert might be a little heavier with cake, ice cream, and truffles!. also, we are going to have activities and I don't want them to have stomach aches from heavy food!.
Any ideas!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
