What to take to a party?!


Question: What to take to a party!?
I am holding a party, or to be more exact (as I have recently learned) an adult ‘play date’ this weekend for my good friends from around the world – mainly in the USA and UK!. I have chosen a place that we can all get to and is also warm – Bermuda, it’s a beach party!.

I have reserved accommodation in a most excellent hotel for everyone but I have to let the caterers know what food and drink to serve and have no idea of how tastes vary around the different places they come from!.

It is also ‘tradition’ to ask them to bring an ‘object’ – it can be a beach toy, party trick, personal item or object etc!.

Could you help me by telling me what party food and drink and what object you would take if you were going!?

HB!.!.!.You're bartending!? Good!.!.!.I need a stiff one!.

Lots and lots of Bolly and some cucumber sandwiches!.

I shall bring a beach cricket set!. The real game is very mysterious, even to British women (though not British men, of course)!. We need to be very careful about the condition of any balls in play – most cricketers polish their own by friction against the groin area of the trouser!. We ladies would be delighted to help out in this area!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds like fun!. I would go with finger foods!. Anything that you can just use your hands with like fruits, appetizers, kabobs!. I am thinking drinks could be fruity and fun like long island ice teas or bahama mama's, sex on the beach (no pun intended)!. I did like the sea food idea that someone mentioned earlier!. I will have to get back to you on the "object" that I would bring!. (a masseuse was the first to pop in my minds eye)
Awesome HB a professional bartender!. Good to know since everyone usually says I make them too srong!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I will bring my valet Cuthbertson, as well as being a general dogsbody and having him wait on me hand and foot is definitely an advantage, he can also perform his party trick, it involves him pole dancing, an empty Guinness bottle, a rather large Alsatian dog called Bruno and an egg whisk!.
By the way is there a garage or something similar where he can put his head down after an 20 hour day!?
Extra by the way, er!.!.!.ummm, er!.!.any chance of a room next to McFud, she wears a Basque and stockings and er!.!.!.got to go now, cold shower don't you know, er!.!.!.!.umph !.!.gasp!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no fair! sounds like fun, some type of bbq, shish kabobs or grilled oysters!.!.!.!. mmmm yummerz! but anything on the grill is good party food some different alcoholic beverages from wine to beer!. i would take a volleyball so much fun on the beach and scattergories b/c volleyball isn't for everybody, ya dig!?!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'll definitely help BE with the drinks!. Coming from a family of Irish Pubs, and being from Long Island I should be able to take care of the bar and BE's Iced teas!. I can also supply a DJ for the beach party!.

I love everyones ideas!.!.!. I hope someone brings some bananas!.!.!. I am hoping to see this banana trick we've all heard about!. Maybe NASB could teach it to the girls!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Plain and simple!.!.!.!.seafood!. I know it can be costly, but if I'm going to a beach party I expect to have beach food, which consist of seafood!.!.!.grilled shrimp, clams, crab cakes, etc!.!.!.even bbq style ribs, steaks, chicken, pasta salads, potato or macaroni salad etc!.!.!.

For drinks, tropical mai tais, blue Hawaiis', margaritas etc!.!.

take a boogie board, floatee device, sand toys etc!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A few bowls of mixed salad leaves!. Just for pleasure, I'll enjoy watching the over weight americans dodging the salad bar!.

Plenty of twinkies and corn dogs maybe a few buckets of chicken wings, burgers and ketchup!. Diet coke!.

Some thing sophisticated for us British!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Corn dogs!. Tea!. Gin!. Fish and Chips with tartar sauce wrapped in newspapers!. Gin!. Big Macs!. Red Bull!. Gin!. Haggis!. Beer!. Custard!. Gin!.
(I'm bringing my midget and my monkey!.)
(Maybe some fuzzy handcuffs, too!.)
(And snow!.!.!.lots and lots of snow!.!.!.it just follows me wherever I go, lately!.!.!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

In my opinion, I would take a big bag of marshmellows, but if it was a meal, I would bring something like salad!.
I hope you have a brillant day! (:Www@FoodAQ@Com

Champagne, without question my dear!. And one would require the finest venison!. The item would most definately be a servant!. We aristocrats love a "bring a butler party"!. Toodle pip!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds like fun!. As it's just for the weekend forget about the food and just fill up on Tequila (The lemon and salt could count as food groups)

Scoundrel my dear friend,
Once again your hospitality and creativity have simply just amazed me!.
Being from New England, I usually have a craving for seafood!. But I think any type of food will do!. The suggestions already have me licking my lips!. ( especially cool whip and key lime pie* wink* ooops sorry Scoundrel, that wink was directed towards Courtney )

If possible, I will bring down some Sam Adams holiday brews!. I will do my best to sneak them there!. I figure if Courtney can bring the saddle and body painter, I can hide them with the paints!.

Should be a fantastic time!. I will bring you that new sun bronzer lotion I was telling you about!. I add some gold glitter to it!. With the Island sun, and the reflection from the water, you'll look almost metallic!

edit: yes HB!.!.I too am curious to see the "banana" trick done with an actual banana!.!.!.!.we always have to use something else!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Scoundrel, I am bringing you a saddle for your hosting gift, including a good ride!

For food all that I need on the beach is cool whip, chocolate body paint, key lime pie and some fresh snapper!.

For drinks Patron Silver and Corona, Ted and I have a memory to make with that!.

For the "object" I will be bringing a professional latex body painter (its water proof), since we will be on a private beach I thought why not just paint our clothing on, with this group it will make things much simpler to access as well as making packing a breeze and well I never end up making it home with all my clothes and this takes that worry away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
