Throwing a Christmas/Birthday dinner party?!
My birthday is a few days after Christmas and im turning 17 so I want to throw a dinner party with a winter theme (white, silver, gold, red, green) at my house!. My house isn't that big and I'm inviting 13 friends (although not all of them will be able to come, I presume) so I cant actually serve dinner, it'll have to be a buffet!.
So my questions are:
-What are 3 sweet things, 3 savory things, and 2 beverages I could serve!? Winter/Xmas themes, please!. Maybe one warm drink and one cold!? Recipes appreciated but not necessary!.
-What Christmasy movies can we watch (not cartoons)!?
-Do you know any Christmas songs that have been remixed or something to give it a modern and more fun twist!?
-Decoration ideas!? D!.I!.Y!. preferred!.
-Invitation ideas!? I want something easy and simple but fun!. Things to include in invitation: Time, place, date, dress code, and the fact that it is a birthday and christmas party!.
-Party favour ideas!?
By the way, I have a budget of about 70 dollars for decorations, and my parents will pay for the food!.
Thanks so much!

Menu-
Sweet things:
Sugar Cookies, a nice pie or tart, and a red velvet cake!. Please note while these are all vegetarian, they are not VEGAN recipes!.
Savory things:
A winter vegetable medley stir-fry with no meat over a bed of rice, a vegetable broth based light soup, and oriental salad!.
Beverages:
Hot apple cider and Eggnog!

Miracle On 34th St!. The one with Mara Wilson that was made in the nineties!. Good flick!. If you want something a little less whimsical go with it's a wonderful life!.

You could make little ancient looking scrolls, and seal them with wax!. It's actually pretty easy to do with a lighter, some brown staining liquid (like tea), and a candle!.
