I would not sweat the hard stuff , just maybe make a lot of finger foods that are easy on the pocket book and also most crowds like fingers foods it feels more relaxing ,not so formal
Cheese, Crackers , Cream cheese dip, maybe make a nice warm pot of soup or stew as well with buns, butter , chilled wine and maybe a few sweets delectable brownies are always a hit at my parties , I have thrown many parties and the best ones are the ones where it is casual :O} hope some of this helped have fun

Answer 3

I like doing a variety of small platters..
Shrimp cocktail
Veggie tray (do it with endive leaves, barely steamed asparagus, snow or sugar snap peas-raw or barely steamed, sliced colored bell peppers), and a fresh herb dip.
Hummus and pita chips
Mini meatballs and a can of pineapple chunks, cooked with a little of the pineapple juice and some sweet and sour sauce.
Liver pate and/or smoke salmon and crackers.
Spinach or artichoke dip, baked in a hollowed out bread bowl, and served with bread slices and triscuits.
Bowls of steamed and salted edamame.

For drinks, I usually just try to have a good selection of juices and sodas- both can be served alone or with alcohol, which I tend to keep a good assortmant of..and some cold, bottled beer.

Hope your party is a big success! Congrats on your new place!

Answer 4

Lots of finger foods. We served Swedish meatballs,chili, I made a meat and cheese platter, hummus with parsley oil in a bread bowl, bought a shrimp platter and some crudites from the market. I might have made a spinach dip in a bread bowl. And crackers of course. It was all a hit, my family asked me where I bought the hummus! And I had to tell them I made it! Heh, like they didn't know I'd been in the restaurant business. It was an ego-boost. The recipe for the hummus is on epicurious.com.

You do ought to have some finger ingredients exceptionally as a results of fact you're having liquids. Pigs in a blanket party combination Pimento cheese sandwiches Cocktail meatballs those are all ordinary and speedy to coach. For the meatballs, in case you have a Sam's club or WalMart in simple terms bypass there and purchase a pair luggage of the completely cooked cocktail or customary meatballs. Then, for each bag of meatballs, combination a jar of chili sauce (stumbled on interior the ketchup section made with the aid of Heinz) and a jar of grape jelly. positioned the meatballs and mixture in a crockpot and permit to prepare dinner on low for sort of 6 hours or severe for 3 hours. inspect the Chex website or nutrition community web content for the party combination recipe. you would be able to make it up early and save so as which you have one much less element to do Saturday. finally, is everybody coming to the party who ought to deliver some type of munchy that should assist you out. if so, get them to make some type of finger sandwiches like pimento cheese or cream cheese.

Answer 6

Fruit bowl and salad bowls are always a good way to go for cheapness on price and it does feed alot. Go with mini bottles of water and the mini cans of soda's or can drinks. People never drink all of the soda in the regular sized cans. Also, you can call up subway and have them make you one of those Huge long sub sandwiches..I did it onces and it disappeared..everyone loved it.

Answer 7

well, it's kind of short notice for a big production, so I'd suggest ordering pizza. Saves time, and clean up.

But if you want to cook, chicken fingers, Some kind of pasta dish and a big pot of chili worked well for me. A batch of biscuits would work well too.

Just have a variety or drinks on hand, buy pop and have iced tea and juice made.

Answer 8

well short notice to prepare anything big...but for a casual party like housewarming........simple is good.....veggies and dip, deli meats and variety of breads, a variety of salads(links below -- I looked around all recipes for some different types of salads....variety is good havent tried these particular ones as of yet though), pigs in a blanket, seven layer dip with tortilla chips

Answer 9

One easy meal that folks seem to like is: One large pack of the premade meatballs....heated...pour into large bowl...pour in one large can of pre heated sweet and sour sauce..serve with long skewers. They'll eat 'em up.
