A month or two ago we and a group of friends started talking about us hosting a dinner and a campfire for New Year's. Now it's turned into a big deal, over 40 people are coming! I couldn't be happier, but I don't know what to do with them!
So far I'm cooking my very best dish, veggie and meat lasagnas (enough to feed an army ), salads and bread, we are getting roasted chickens, and providing all the wine and champagne.
I'm asking everyone to bring additional drinks, appetizers, and desserts.
Many will be staying with us, so I'll also be cooking breakfast.
(Any ideas on an easy breakfast menu?!?)
I'm going to turn the apps and desserts into a recipe exchange. Everyone provides cards to sit next to their dish, my hope was that everyone would bring their best, and it would be fun.
(Would you like this?)
Our friends came up with the idea of drawing a few names, only those interested playing would submit, and doing a mock newlyweds game.
(Need game ideas!)
Do you guys have any ideas? I need this to be classy (yet informal), fun, and something that will leave a lasting impression! Any ideas for decorating?
Thanks so much for any help! HELP!! :lol:
