[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cash is tight and my kid wants to have a grad party like all their friends. I’m not broke, but i also can’t do a $10,000 passed hors d’oevres deal like all their classmates. On the plus side, I’m a good cook and the plan is for a 2 or 3 pm start, so more snacks and finger foods than full meal. So…. Can i do it?  Or too crazy and hectic?

I was thinking something like:

Kale salad
Pasta salad
Fruit salad
Kings Hawaiian/slider roll sandwiches (maybe roast beef, chicken salad and tomato basil mozzarella with balsamic reduction)
Bags of chips [b]and popcorn[/b]
Cookies
[b]Brownies[/b]
[b]Rice Krispie treats[/b]
Grad cake(s)
[color=blue]Icecream[/color]
Then buckets of water/soda/[b]beer/wine[/b]/seltzers

I’ll make sure the sandwiches are more exciting than just a thin shriveled scrap of meat… like a roast beef with roasted red peppers and sharp cheddar or turkey, brie, cranberry jam etc. And everything will taste great but be homemade

What do you think?  Doable? Acceptable?

Go for it. I think it is very doable and very acceptable.  Love the idea of multiple types of sandwiches.  Cut them into halves and put a toothpick through it or you will see massive food waste.

If it was me - I would remove the bolded, and add the stuff that is in blue color.

You need help though to serve and replenish food. You have no idea the amount of food they can devour. And if you think you are going to run out of food, just order a few pizzas too. Also, some of the COSTCO frozen appetizers are pretty good - like their mini-quiche, dumplings etc.

Some of the other stuff to add - if you have a larger group of kids coming

Corn chips or nacho chips -  guac, bean dip, chilli and salsa.
