Entertaining

I have tried candymaking sites, candle sites, and jello sites, and they have some neat stuff, but they are all too little. I don't want to pay $100 for a real ice sculpture. I would like something taller than 1 foot.

I'm throwing a party and I was wondering if I could get some help with the music. Is some nice jazz or some funky hip hop a good idea for that kind of crowd?

I bought a whole chicken to make for my husband when he gets home. I've never made a whole chicken before (it's usually his forte) and I want it to be moist, delicious and looking good too. Also, does this sound like a good menu for our dinner?
A whole baked chicken, grilled corn on the cob w/ butter and herbs, oven baked mac & cheese (he specifically requested this, so it has to stay), steamed broccoli and carrots with a made-totally-from-scratch banana creme pie (my forte, lol) with home made whipped cream.
He's coming home from a deployment and I really want to spoil him. Is there anything I should change or add? Also, don't forget the tips for cooking the bird!!
Thanks!

I suck at this kind of stuff and suck at cooking - thats my opener. I'm having a 40th bday party for my husband. Planning on about 50 people.
So I want to keep things simple & not break the bank.
Thinking - Appitizers - Ordering extra large taco dip tray, cheese/sausage tray and pinwheel tray. Making deviled eggs.
Meal: ?????????????? order ham & beef & serve hot for sandwiches?????????????
Drinks: 1/2 barrel beer, soda & wine

Do i need more - other suggestions? What about for the meal??

TIA!!

When I let my other half carve the joint (Lamb or Beef) why do I get soooo irritated when he carves it the wrong way?
i.e. against the 'grain' so to speak. Am I being too picky?

Christmas is a big entertaining day for me. Every year I entertain for about 50 bigtime eaters. I usually prepare around 300 hors d'oevours and 10 dishes for the main meal. Generally, I do somewhat upscale things such as a prime rib with bernaise sauce, mozzerella caprese with lobster meat and balsamic reduction, etc. I've started to repeat some of the dishes though. What are some other upscale dishes I could make. I'd really appreciate an idea for a main protein other than the traditional prime rib, turkey, or ham. Maybe some sort of beef tenderloin/filet mignon?
