Party food ideas


Question Posted Tuesday July 8 2008, 7:33 am

Female / 17 / Australia

I am having my 18th birthday party next month and I have planned most of it apart from a few things.

I am renting out a big rooftop apartment for two nights and having a party of about 15-20 people coming. Guests will hav to bring their own alcohol but I have no idea what foods to serve. There will be both boys and girls at the party.

Does anyone have an ideas for food?
Maybe if anyone even has ideas for what I can do to make the party more fun for everyone that would be great too.

Thanks to everyone who can help out!

xx

For a party that large, I'd serve a lot of different snacks that are easy.

Chips & dip, a veggie tray, a cold-cut tray, a cheese tray, breads... And since you're in Australia, I don't know what's down there or what they offer, but I'm sure it can't be that different... Here you can usually go to the grocery store and get ready-made salads, chicken tenders, and various other type of snack trays made for you at a lower cost than if you bought the ingredients yourself and tried to make the same thing. During Christmas (my family has 20+ members) my grandmother usually buys four to five of these trays so that everyone can eat whenever they want, whatever they want.

Another thing my grandmother does... She may cook a few dishes, but usually it's desert stuff. How about just a bunch of snack trays and then, say, bake a cake or something? After all, it's your birthday... People should be fussing over you, not the other way around :P

Best wishes and happy birthday in advance. Take care!

hm. grilling is ALWAYS a great idea! who doesn't love a cheeseburger or a hotdog when their wasted? im not sure.. also, if you have some vegetarian friends get a few veggi things for them :].

also, you can call a deli and they can deliver you wings, you can also try getting one of those huge subs [a hero?] i dunno what its called. but they can come up to 6 feet long!

another idea would be cheese and crackers [as an appetizer] then you could serve [either make it yourself, or order it] some kind of pasta, like baked ziti. Or you can even go with the classic--pizza!!

good luck and happy birthday!
