No, not for me. I would love to plan a party for me, but I just don't think it's going to happen. But my parents are hosting a party and inviting three other couples. Talking to my mom Friday night, she wants it to be special and my dad wants a fancy dinner.
And I asked/begged if I could plan it for her. She said sure, although I'm not sure she knows what she's in for. But I think she's cheating on me! Later that night Twin text me to show me a few of the things she bought from Anthropologie for their party!
But I'm going to do it anyway.
Mom wants to go all out and that means some decorations are needed. Their china is white with silver accents, so I think a white, silver, gold with some green in with the flowers is a good idea. Twin already picked up a few things (shown in here). And I think the balloons are an easy, cute and cheap idea.
Surf and turf is my parents favorite dinner combo, so that is definitely part of the menu. They want to start straight out with dinner since it will be at about 7pm and then later in the night they can eat some appetizer type food for snacks instead of their usual chips and/or veggies and dip.
Prosciutto wrapped asparagus
Goat cheese in phyllo - I love this dish, and you can get a fantastic pre-made version at most stores
Ina's lobster mac and cheese - this would be amazing, but I doubt they would serve this
Filet and lobster
Sausage stuffed mushrooms
Shrimp cocktail
And mom was looking for a special drink to serve. It's New Years, so obviously champagne. And I love St. Germain's Elderflower. Combine the two and you're done!
Individual berry trifle or maybe individual raspberry glam trifles for dessert.
So...What do you think mom? The only thing I didn't cover was games. I know you want to have some sort of board game on hand to play, but that's not my thing and I have no idea. I'll work on that. But I do think you should have The Holiday playing in the background on tv. Love that movie.
