Question

Im having an "END OF THE YEAR PARTY" I'm inviting, 80-100 Guest. I need ideas on the following Please:
1. What activities: (Dancing,Ect. please be specific)
2. What Food to serve ( Snacks, Real food. NO PIZZA)
3. Decoration: (theme: Red Carpet, Glamour, VIP, ECT.) I ALREADY KNOW RED CARPET.

Answer 1

You need a live band. One that can play a variety of music. Dancing would be great.

Food I think nice finger foods would be nice (not chips and dips). Maybe try kabobs of different types; like meat and cheese or fruits.

SHRIMP KABOBS
2 lb. shrimp
1/2 c. lemon juice
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. soy sauce
3 tbsp. fresh parsley
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
Mix all ingredients together. Marinate 2 to 3 hours. Thread shrimp on wooden skewers. Broil 3-4 minutes, 6 inches from heat, on each side. Baste occasionally with reserved marinade

Go to appetizers at cooks.com and they have some great recipes.

Decorations~~you have to use silver and black with the red carpet theme. Pretty lights (white Christmas type) should surround the event.

Answer 2

1.-Try a live band, for 80-100 people it should be easy to get someone for some mellow rock or something. Also you could have board games available, they can be very fun to play with strangers, maybe some other bigger party games like twister or spin the bottle etc, go to a party store and have a look.

2.-If you can get it catered do so, for hors d’œuvre at least maybe, this would lessen the work you need to do, and they may also offer dishes and cleanup after, so you won't have to do dishes. If you're going for really fancy set up a martini station, that seems glammy(you can buy all the booze for this one simply, just look up recipes online).

If you cannot get it catered I say get some sushi that's premade, you can order party platters from grocery stores or good restaurants as well. Otherwise find out if there's something you can make ahead of time, say a few weeks before and freeze, to save time.

3.-If you're going for red carpet follow up with red highlights in your decor. Maybe add in "paparazzi" as it were to photograph people coming in, I'm sure some photography students might do this for free.

Answer 3

Err, thats pretty hard since you ahvent told us how old you are, if you are vegy, or whatever, but here goes-
have a themed party eg 60's, hawaiin, punk, country, etc. That way you can play the music for 60's, hawaiin, etc, and everyone dresses up, so they will all be talking and dancing and taking pics!!!
food-quick aspat dishes, cous cous, fruit, pineapple and cheese sticks, crisps, snakc food.
you could let them all bring some food so you know they have at least something they can eat!
this is so hard since i dont know your age...erm play kids games, always fun, specaiilly if someones had a bit too much to drink lol
decoration-none really might look tacky, unless it is themed. fsiry lights, disco ball, flowers, nothing breakable,

Answer 6

ok this is what you do,
1) for activities you should get a dj and a dance floor, and OH! i got a good idea um you should make it like the oscars and chose best dressed and give them trophys, you should have like a joan rivers like just critizing them for FUN! not mean! do that when the are walking down the carpet,
2) for food give them like wine or something ( to young to drink but you might be old enough so choose whatever one)
you want)
2 cups bread flour, high grade
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional)
1/2 cup water, bath-temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1/4 cup water, extra hot water

Food Processor/Blender Flat-shaped Breads
Australian Flat-shaped Breads
Very Low Carbs Flat-shaped Breads
Grains Flat-shaped Breads
Romantic Flat-shaped Breads
Heat oven to 160oC (150oC fanbake), with the rack just below the middle.
Measure the first five ingredients into a food processor or large bowl. Pour 1/2 cup warms water into a one cup measure, stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved, then add
the oil. Process the dry ingredients in bursts (or toss them together with a fork), while you add the hot liquid mixture in a steady stream. Add as much of the remaining hot water as you need to form a ball of soft dough.
Cut the dough into four parts and put three aside in a plastic bag. Roll out the other piece VERY thinly on a floured board, using extra flour to stop it sticking, making an oval shape bigger than an A4 size page. Cut in half (lengthwise), then cut each half into 10-12 tall, thin (pennant shaped) triangles, with alternate narrow bases and points on the cut edge. Perfect shapes aren't necessary and outside edges need not be trimmed. Prick crackers with a fork or skewer, Place on a metal cake rack to bake, crumpling but not folding them.
Bake them on the rack for 10-15 mintues, until pale gold but dry and very crisp. Lower heat and cook longer if necessary. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. When cold, store in airtight containers, reheating if crackers soften or storage.
Flavour develops fully after about 12 hours.

BBQ Chicken Yakitori Kebabs
3 tablespoons shoyu (Japanese Soy Sauce) or soy sauce
3 tablespoons sake or dry sherry
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons clear honey
Place the shoyu/soy, sake or sherry, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and honey in a shallow dish and stir together to mix. Add the chicken pieces and spoon the marinade over them. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat the barbecue flat plate. Soak 30 small bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 mins, to provent them from burning on the barbecue.
Thread about 2 pieces of chicken onto the skewers, alternating with one piece of capsicum and one of spring onions, threaded widthways.
Cook the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through, turning from time to time and brushing with the marinade.

Crunchy Shrimp Wontons With Green-Onion Dipping Sauce
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus
24 sprigs fresh cilantro, leaves and tender stems
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, plus
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
24 large shell-on shrimp (20 to 24 per lb.)
vegetable oil (for frying)
24 square wonton wrappers
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, chopped cilantro, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons ginger, and 1 tablespoons sesame oil.
Peel shrimp, leaving tails on, and devein. Add to soy mixture and marinate, covered, 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.Drain shrimp in a colander, spread out on paper towels, and pat dry. (I make a horizontal slit, 3/4 of the way through the shrimp, in the middle of the curve of the shrimp so that it will straighten out.).
Pour oil into a deep, heavy pot to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°F Meanwhile, spread out wonton wrappers. Working with one wrapper at a time, put several cilantro leaves and stems along wrapper edge nearest you. Top them with a shrimp, arranging shrimp lengthwise so that tail extends beyond wrapper. Fold the wrapper edge opposite the tail over shrimp. Brush far edge of wrapper with water and, starting with near edge, roll wrapper loosely around shrimp, forming a package. Press seam firmly to seal.
Preheat oven to 200°F and put a shallow rack in a baking pan. When oil reaches 375°F fry wontons in several batches so as not to crowd them, flipping midway through cooking, until medium golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If shrimp begin to brown to quickly, reduce temperature. Lift shrimp out with tongs, draining excess oil, and transfer to baking pan; keep warm in oven.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the orange and lemon juices, marmalade, green onion, and 2 teaspoons ginger. Serve wontons hot, with dipping sauce on the side.
