[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7pm is a dinner party, I hope you understand that. If you are going for alcohol and dessert, it should start at 8 and state somewhere or refer to drinks and dessert. Since it's a white elephant, it's probably pretty casual so you can make it a dessert potluck-type of event.[/quote]

Everybody knows a casual neighborhood get-together like this is all about heavy apps and fun food and drinks. Come off it. It's a White Elephant, not a sit-down dinner party. As long as some of the apps are heavy and filling, it's more than fine. If you can't fill up on a few cocktail meatballs, mini sandwiches, a hot dip and crackers, charcuterie, snacks, desserts, you're living life wrong.[/quote]
Who said it has to be a stuffy sit down dinner? But don’t get chintzy and have only apps. Make it a casual potluck, which is appropriate for a white elephant, but make it dinner. You can make it easy - pizza, Chinese take-out, chili, but have more than just apps.[/quote]

I’d much rather make a meal out of a selection of heavy apps than lukewarm takeout pizza or Chinese food. And chili would be even worse. [/quote]

+1. NP. Chili? [/quote]
